Update for Macomb County Commissioners Education and Training Committee
Student Success
A number of factors are converging to make student success more important than ever: 1
• National shift toward a skilled labor force • National need for more college graduates • Record numbers of students enrolling in higher education • The demand to earn higher wages
Of the 1.3 million job vacancies in Michigan between 2008 and 2018, 836,000 will require some training and education past high school. 2
In Michigan, new jobs that require post-secondary education will grow by 116,000 by 201 a, while jobs for high school graduates and dropouts will grow only by 22.000. 2
Sixty-two percent of all jobs in Michigan will require some post-secondary training by 2018 2.
About 90 percent of the jobs in four of the five fastest growing occupational clusters require postsecondary education. 2.
According to Carnevale (2010), "America needs more workers with college degrees, certificates and industry certifications. \f we don't address this need now, millions of jobs could go offshore." 2.
Achieving the Dream
Achieving the Dream is dedicated to making the student success agenda a priority at community colleges and with state and national policymakers and stakeholders.
The initiative seeks to help more students reach their individual goals, which may include earning a community college certificate or degree, attaining a bachelor's degree, and/or obtaining a better job. Achieving the Dream colleges will maintain a high degree of access for historically underrepresented groups while working to increase the percentage of students who accomplish the following:
• successfully complete the courses they take; • advance from remedial to credit-bearing courses; • enroll in and successfully complete gatekeeper courses: • enroll from one semester to the next; • earn degrees and/or certificates.
Specific interventions to improve student success at Macomb include:
• Revise college success course to better meet needs of "at risk" students • Offer developmental math in 3 day format (instead of 2 days) for at risk students • Create pilot "Learning Community" by including same cohort of at risk students in a college
success course and developmental math • Offer supplemental instruction for developmental math students • Develop college level (transfer accepted) "Everyday Math" course

DOL - Training and Education Earmark Currently in final stage of approval with FPO. Work will be done in concert with existing DOL and NEI grants. Funds will be utilized to meet the need for skilled workers to support the aerospace and defense industry. Scholarships will be created to cover education costs and internships will be provided as appropriate.
Alternative Fuell Electric Vehicle
In September 2010. we received $1.4 million award over two years from NSF for Center for Advanced Automotive Technology (CAAT). There is additional funding of $1.5 million for two additional years provided there is adequate progress. The CAAT is a result of our activities starting with the first NSF grant in 2005 and planning grant in 2008.
The CAAT will serve as a hub for all of our activities associated with the electric car, electric grid, energy storage, and battery technology. The CAAT will be a repository of both technical and educational material.
Currently working on several other grants with Wayne State University related to electric vehicle, batteries and energy storage, and the electrical grid.

Health Info Technology
Macomb is participating in a grant as a member of a regional consortium led by Cuyahoga ce.
The first cohort (6 month training session) has 35 students currently enrolled which was our target enrollment for this first group. This cohort will finish its study the end of March 2011. All curriculum has been delivered to the Office of the National Coordinator Website. Macomb Online Learning staff is in the process of working with the HIT staff to load this information into Angel for use in hybrid and online formats starting in January.
The second cohort starts in January and is capped at 70 students. There are currently 85 students who have expressed interest and begun the enrollment process. This cohort will be complete in June 2011.
The national competency exams are currently being developed with delivery scheduled for late spring early summer 2011.
Macomb CC was a sponsor for two Automation Alley events in October which aided recruitment of both students and faculty.
Last week the Michigan Legislature approved a $7.5 million capital outlay for the second (final) phase of Macomb's Health Science and Technology building at center campus.
Example of project: Designers Helping Designers
Macomb Community College is hosting a program called Designers Helping Designers. In cooperation with the American Society of Body Engineers (ASBE) Foundation and MiWorks, Macomb Community College is delivering an 80+ hour program allowing dislocated and displaced designers an opportunity to practice, maintain and strengthen their skills through an informal arrangement using the following design software applications; CATIA and UG. The program provides the opportunity for participants to remain skill competitive within their respective design software background, and also provides training in system upgrades.
Macomb has hosted three sessions. Forty eight of the 78 students in the first three sessions have been re-employed with various employers in the design industry.

Q What is your vision for aU-Macomb?
A Oakland University has been offering programs in Macomb County for 20 years, and we will continue expanding our academic programs. We're going to focus on some very specific educational areas in response to the economic needs of the community and the Governor's Commission on Higher Education and Economic Growth in Macomb County, which challenged Oakland University to increase involvement in the community.
Q Can you tell us more about those areas of focus?
A Health care is at the top of the list of opportunities for employment, and Oakland University is working with Macomb Community College to further develop Health Sciences programs designed to help students obtain a four-year degree related to health care.
Another area we're working on IS the field of business and technology. In particular, to develop Business programs that will carry graduates into the future. People don't tend to work in the same job for their entire career anymore, so we want to offer flexible degrees that can allow people to easily transition from one job to another.lnforma . y, homeland security and defe we' 0
We're also in the process of evaluating our Engineering offerings to make sure the program is truly responsive to the employment needs of the community.
Q Will aU-Macomb continue to grow in other ways, [OO?
A Absolutely. Because of the number of Education programs we already offer, we're uniquely pOSitioned to broaden our offerings in education and human services, which is the second largest area of job opportunity. We also plan to expand our undergraduate offerings and strategically offer additional graduate programs - to possibly include Health Sciences, Engineering and Business - to help people further develop their careers.
Q Are other kinds or (hanges in the works, too?
A Yes. We're going to develop online courses and different modes of delivery, such as weekend courses, to accommodate the needs of the working student. We want to make it possible for students to complete all of their coursework in Macomb County. And an important aspect of my vision is to make the Macomb campus a very student-centered environment, where there's a sense of a student community.
Q How is the evolution of aU-Macomb being developed?
A Iwill be contacting alumni who live in Macomb County for tneir input and suggestions about how we call best serve tne community. Oakland University President Gary Russi and Iwill be putting together an Advisory Board for OU-Macomb.ln addition, Albert Loren1:O, who just retired after many years as president of Macomb Community College, has agreed to join us as an executive in residence. He has a very strong sense of the needs of the community.
Q In what other ways does Oakland University plan lo reach out to Macomb County and the surrounding communities?
A We are going to work even more dosely with tne Macomb Intermediate School District and local school districts to develop educational transitions thaI make it easy for students in Macomb County to move directly from high school into college and complete their degrees. In addition, we will continue our involvement with the Smart Zone/Business Incubator au helped develop in Sterling Heights. Our overarching objective is to continue expanding aU-Macomb - and our other outrea(h efforts - to respond to the needs of the wmmuni

learning to give back For Scott Keen, making a career change and returning to
school was motivated by il desire to gille back to the community. ~I wantl?d to look at my life and know I made a difference," he ~ay~
When the formEr machine repairman left hl~ Job at Ford Motor Company to pursue iI ba,hl?lor of sdencl' degree in
Elementary Education through aU-Macomb, he wondered if he W<lS ready to work with young students - a concern also \loiced by some of his fellow students, who weren't sure
what the emotional imp,lCt of working in an urban school environment might be
Any doubts disappeared during Keen's two recent teaching internships. He was placed in local urban school districts and
says, "You could see the need for devoted teachers in those students' eyes. If those kids are going to make it, they need a good education. And to do that. we need to start with caring teachers. That's when I realized this wa~ something I really wanted to do and (ould do -- and should do:·
Keen adds that his professors at aU-Macomb set an excellent example for him as an a~piring educator. ··The professor~
take their responsibility to teach future teachers very seriously. Their passion for education has been a great source of inspiration to me," he explaln~.
Plus, Keen appreciates hll program', cohon form <It. which keeps students in the s<lme diSCIpline on simil<lr schedules throughout their coursework <lnd ensures them spots in their required courses. "My cohort helped me build signifiC<lnt friendships as well <IS a he<llthy competitiveness," S<lys Keen "Knowing your fellow students m<lkes group prolects e<lsier <lnd f<lr more productive."
Upon graduating in the winter of 2009, Keen hopes to begin te<lching <It the elementary level in <In urban school district.
Best of both worlds When Clinton Township resident Nioole Hinchman attended her Oakland University freshmen orientation, she planned to take all her classes at QU's Rochester'campus. That was until she heard about the Macomb20aldand (M20) program.

Through its concurrent enrollment program, M20 01110"""5 students to be accepted to both institutions with asmgle application.
One of the many advantages M2D crffers studerits is the opportunity to utilize the resources of both schools. "ltgi~5 me dpuble the choice of professors and classes, say!>U "'ieo/(' HITu;h/J'larl found QUi Hinchman, vand double the friends ~5 weil~" about tb<' Mawmb20al<kmd

INTRODUCTION
Statement of Purpose
To ensure the delivery of services and programs to identify and determine eligibility of
unemployed adult, displaced workers and those with barriers to employment to assist with
employment training needs, increase their employability skills, and provide resources and
referrals to address barriers to employment so they may reenter the local job market in
growth occupations that will provide reasonable wages for stable future employment. Last
year this department increased our training enrollments by 100 percent.
Overview of 2009
We continued to see high numbers of people utilizing all of our services. This included an
increase in those utilizing the Michigan Talent Bank, attending Training Opportunity
seminars, as well as the increase in training enrollments. In our 2009 Program Year, our five
Service Centers assisted approximately 120,000 customers, which was an all time high. We
met and exceeded our enrollments goals, as was stated, by 100 percent. In 2009, Program
Year, our Service Centers provided training for 1,729 Adults and 1,277 Dislocated Workers
for a total of 3,006 customers. We also saw an increase in those attending Job Education
and Training (Jet), which meant an increase in those applying for cash (pUblic) assistance.
2009 was a very active year, as listed:
• Macomb/St. Clair County Michigan Works received and fully obligated the
largest dispersal of training funds in the state.
• In 2009 we registered 120,000 customers versus 70,000 in 2008.
• We enrolled 4,112 customers into training from July 2008 through June 2009,
of those individuals, 2,050 enrolled at Community Colleges and Universities.
• Received stimulus funds, which were used to provide short term vocational
"Class Size Training~ programs to get customers back to work in a shorter
time frame.
• Provided Summer Youth Employment Experience for approximately 2,000 at
risk youth, ages 14-21.
• "Accelerating Your Transition", is a workshop for referred Laid Off "white
collar" workers. This workshop proVides job seekers with a "set of tools that
2
can be used to help define (their) goals and strategically plan the next steps"
in the process of securing new employment.
• Assisted customers with basic skills upgrading and English as a second
language.
• Partnered with WorkingHabitat Group to provide preferred status and free
training Portal for unemployed engineers, designers, program manager,
analysts, and architects.
• Working with Macomb Community College and the City of Warren, on the
Green Roof Project, which will allow customers to build the skills required for
employment in the green roof industry.
• Enhanced growth list to include green jobs and the film industry.
Overview - (51. Clair County specific)
• ReAR Program: Provided training for 15 individuals through a grant provided
by DELEG and Dept. of Transportation. The goal of the ROAD
CONSTRUCTION APPRENTICESHIP READINESS program is to prepare
participants to be competitive applicants for the skilled trades apprenticeships
related to all aspects of road construction. All 15 participants did successfully
complete March, 22, 2010
• Mortgage Loans Originator Training Program: St. Clair County Michigan
Works is working as partners with St. Clair Community College, the Economic
Development Association and First Preferred Mortgage Company to provide
extensive training for Mortgage Loan Originators. Upon successful completion
of the training program which will be funded for eligible candidates through
ARRA monies, participants may be employed in Port Huron by First Preferred
Mortgage Company. The goal of the program is to train and employ at least
50 individuals within the first year. Successful completion will include Work
Keys testing, completing the 64 hour intense training program and becoming
nationally certified as Mortgage Loan Originators. Employment with First
Preferred will give these participants the ability to work in the nationwide
mortgage loan market with potential to make six figure incomes.

• AWARE: Partnership between Michigan Works!, St. Clair County Community
College, and the Port Huron Area School District to assist adults who are
interested in obtaining their GED and attending the community college, or
other training institutions. This program serves as a support and transition
program so that once the learner has completed their GED they are well
prepared to enter and be successful in their college programs. Included are
counseling, tutoring, testing, and career exploration provided for all
participants as well as a strong orientation to the college and its programs. Of
the 16 students who entered in the fall of 2009, they re-enrolled in winter 2010
classes, 7 students entered into non-credit classes, and 100% of them
completed successfully.
• Partnership for Area Development: The supervisor of the St. Clair County
Michigan Works! office was invited to sit on this committee along with the
Economic Development Alliance, Workforce Training Institute of the St. Clair
County Community College, local and state planners and workforce
representatives, the Michigan Manufacturers Technology Center, Department
of Energy Labor Economic Growth, Michigan Economic Development
Corporation (DELEG), and various business and industry leaders in St. Clair
County. The mission of this group is "Helping companies grow in S1. Clair
County by creating a discussion forum where county leaders share their
knowledge of programs and incentives that are available to assist businesses
and projects as well as discussing the challenges that they are faced with.
The Partnership for Area Development will identify funding, support services,
and implement: "strategic action plans that positively impact the business and
economy by creating jobs."
The philosophy of the Macomb/St. Clair Workforce Development Board is that all job seekers
who visit the local service centers leave well-informed of the full-range of services available
through Michigan Works!. For this reason, all job seekers who visit a local Michigan Works!
Service Center are required to meet with a customer service representative (CSR) first. The
CSR's provide customers with a printed catalog and oral description of services. In addition
to job search assistance and possible vocational training, job seekers can choose from a
range of over 30 different free workshops designed to enhance their search for employment.

FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDED PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
Adult and Dislocated Workers
Depending on customer eligibility requirements, customers can access two Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) funding sources in order to address their employment and training
needs in the No Worker Left Behind (NWLB) program. These are WIA Adult and WIA
Dislocated Worker.
However, there has been a 90/0 Adult and 7% Dislocated Worker (DW) reduction in
funding for Program Year 2010. The Macomb! 51. Clair Michigan Works (M!5CETA) has
1,075 Adult and 1,664 DW participants in training. The funding for direct training to
continue these trainees for the period July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 is $2, 618,353,
for adults and $4, 249,350 for Dislocated Workers (DW). The resources needed to
provide supportive services; transportation, books and supplies for these trainees will be
in excess of $900,000 for Adults and $1,200,000 for OW's. Therefore, our WIA Adult
Plan for Program Year 2010 will concentrate on providing the resources necessary to
continue the participants presently in training with no new training enrollments during the
Program Year. The outcomes for training participants that exit during this period will be:

Entered Employment Rate 88% 94%
Employment Retention Rate 85% 92%
Average Earnings in 6 Months $9,500 $12,800

Since the No Worker Left Behind Program concentrates on long term training resulting in
a recognized credential, of the 1,075 Adult and 1,664 OW's enrolled in training, 748 Adult
and 1,150 OW's are at community colleges with the following institutions enrollments:

unemployment compensation and are unlikely to retum to their previous industry or
occupation may fall under the definition of Dislocated Worker.
• American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) Summer 2009 Youth
Employment Program (SYEP)
The ARRA 2009 Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) has employed a total
of 1,926 participants and 241 ~ Job Coaches" or supervisors (36 of whom also
qualified as participants) over the course of the summer. Youth were placed at over
200 public and private non-profit worksites throughout Macomb and S1. Clair
Counties. There were a number of "Green Projects," that transpired over the
summer.
11
• WIA In-School & Out-Of-School Youth Program- Aimed at preparing our most
needy and most at-risk youth for a successful transition to adult roles and
responsibilities. The In-School Younger Youth Program is designed for individuals
between the ages of 14-18 years old. It offers skill assessments, tutoring, career
exploration job readiness assistance and a variety of other services needed to assist
the student with school retention and preparation for post secondary education and/or
employment. While participating in this program, students are given the opportunity to
earn money through various incentives and Worked Based Learning job skills. The
Summer Youth Program is an extension of the year round In-School Youth Program
in which the youth are given the opportunity to work during their summer break. In
School youth contractors design and implement their own work program and hire staff
(if applicable) to assist in administering the program. Program duration is generally 4
6 weeks and the students work approximately 30 hours per week. Students are
expected to treat this as employment and are evaluated periodically on their
performance. The Out-Of-School Older Youth Program is designed for individuals
between the ages of 19-21 years of age. The focus of this program is to assist the
participant in obtaining their high school diploma/general equivalency diploma and
then to transition into post secondary education and/or employment. The Out-Of
School Older Youth Program offers skills assessment, basic skills, upgrading, GED
preparation, career exploration, job readiness assistance and job search assistance.
As with the In-School Youth Program, participants are given the opportunity to earn
money through various incentives. In addition, students are provided with a
transportation allowance to assist them with their transportation needs.
• TAARA (OLD LAW) - Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform Act of 2002 - this
federally funded program affords a full range of reemployment services to certified
workers displaced by foreign competition either due to importing of foreign-made
goods/services or the exporting of work. The primary objective of TMRA is to assist
affected workers in returning to suitable employment. While the program provides a
variety of training supportive services to workers, every effort is made to place these
workers in jobs before spending TMRA funds for training. TMRA participants are
permitted to leave the program at any time to accept suitable employment without
penalty of repayment of any TMRA funds spent on their behalf; however there is a
limit to one training program per person. The program provides Career and
12
Employment Counseling, Job Search Assistance, Job Relocation and Classroom
Training or On-the-Job Training. When the TAARA of 2002 was enacted it provided
for some new provisions; the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) and the Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) programs. The HCTC can assist by paying
80% of health care premium for qualified participants. The ATAA program provides
wage subsidy to help bridge the salary gap between old and new employment, for
individuals 50 years or older when retraining may not be appropriate. The customer
must secure full-time employment within 26 weeks of layoff to be eligible for ATAA.
Another provision called Trade Re-adjustment Allowance (TRA), provides income
maintenance two (2) extensions of benefits, paid through the Bureau of Worker and
Unemployment Compensation (BWUC) and can pay individuals up to 26 weeks of
basic TRA benefits and, if the customer is enrolled in training, up to 52 weeks of
additional TRA benefits. If a TAARA certified individual is in need of remedial training
they can earn up to an additional 26 weeks of Remedial TRA benefits.
• The Trade and Globalization Adjustment Assistance Act of 2009 (New Law)
The Trade and Globalization Adjustment Act of 2009, signed on February, 17, 2009,
reauthorized the TAA program, modified policies, and expanded eligibility for worker
groups. Amendments to the program include an increase in training available: an
increase of 26 weeks of TRA for workers who are in long-tenn training; extension of
the current law deadline for enrolling in training to 26 weeks after certification or layoff
(whichever is later);the option of beginning training after worker group certification
and prior to layoff; mandated case management and employment services; includes
the H.C.T.C. health care 80%, an increase from up to 2 years to 3 years for class
room training (C.R.T.) and an increase in maximum dollars up to $45,000 or $15,000
a year for C.R.T.; an increase in job search and relocation allowances; a modification
to the Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance, renaming it as uReemployment Trade
Adjustment Assistance" for workers age 50 or older, with expanded eligibility for both
increased wage supplements as well as regular TAA benefits when a TAA
certification is issued; and eligibility to participate in training while receiving wage
supplements.
• JET~ When the JET program (Michigan's Welfare-to-Work refonn movement) was
introduced in 1994, the state's economic climate provided an abundance of
13
employment opportunities for both skilled and entry level job seekers. The primary
goal of the JET program was to rapidly engage welfare applicants and recipients in
employment.
o The economic climate today requires an increasingly skilled workforce. Many
welfare recipients cannot begin meaningful employment that can lead to
economic self-sufficiency without comprehensive assessment of their skills and
abilities followed by development of an individualized employment and training
plan.
o The goal of the Jobs, Education & Training (JET) program is to individualize
employment and training services versus the one size fits all Work First approach.
o Macomb County was designated as one of 6 counties to be included in JET
expansion pilot sites. Expansion pilots began implementation in October 2006
and were fully operational by December 1, 2006.
o Primary partners in delivery of the JET program include Michigan Works Agencies
and (MWA), the Department of Human Services (DHS). Other community based
organizations and educational entities are also key partners.
JET Goals
o Short-term family support will be provided to 10 percent of applicants, reducing
the total active cases by 20 percent after 18 months.
o Ten percent of the participants will raise reading and math skills to the eighth
grade level or above, will obtain a high school diploma, or obtain a General
Education Development (GED) certificate.
o Fifty percent of those participants obtaining employment will show at least a 20
percent gain in wages compared to their starting employment wage.
JET Program Design Elements
o Comprehensive assessments by DHS and MWA staff will identify participants who
are employment and training ready and those who may have physical, mental or
learning disabilities or other temporary barriers to employment.
o In partnership with Macomb Community College and 8t. Clair County Community
College, the MWA will utilize Work Keys assessments to identify employment
skills and abilities of participants. Assessment results can lead to awarding
Career Readiness Certificates that provide employers with information on the job
readiness of a prospective employee.
14
o Participants will be encouraged to enroll in vocational training for demand
occupations.
o Triage meetings between the participant, DHS and MWA staff may occur
when participants do not follow through on their individual self-sufficiency plan.
Sanctions may be imposed.
• Jet Program Community Service
The Community Service Program (CSP) was created to assist JET participants by
further developing essential employment skills while contributing needed services
free of charge to their community. When enrolled into the CSP program JET
participants will be assigned to various 'host' sites, nonprofit agencies who have
partnered with the Macomb/St. Clair Workforce Development Board. The
participants of the CSP program will be 'paid' or provided "cash assistance" with
increased employment skills and the reward of knowing they are contributing to
their community. Through the development and maintenance of a collaborative
partnership between the Macomb/St. Clair Workforce Development Board and
community hosts, the JET program will continue to facilitate the goal of long
term, gainful employment for its participants.
• Michigan Prisoner Re-entry Initiative (MPRI)
The goal of the program is to transition parolees from the prison system into the
community. A number of services are available through the MPRI program. The
majority of participants are early released parolees, while some have completed
their prison requirements and have been released. A transition team comprised
of representatives from the WorkForce Development, health services, mental
health services, and MPRI staff have developed the plans. Family support
services are a priority to lessen the recidivism rate.
• Michigan Older American Community Service Employment Program
(MOACSEP) The Michigan Older Americans Community Service Employment
Program serves individuals who are 55 years of age or older and whose family
income is below 125% of the poverty level. Preference is given to those 65 years
15
and older who may have a disability; limited English proficiency; low literacy skills,
reside in a rural area, are veterans, have low employment prospects or who are
homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Individuals are placed in community
service assignments with non-profit organizations to gain marketable skills with a
goal to enter unsubsidized employment. There are 75 allotted positions, with
additional slots available through the American Recovery Reinvestment Act of
2009. Individuals earn minimum wage, and allowed to remain in the program for a
maximum of 48 months. The program serves individuals from Macomb, St. Clair,
Oakland and Monroe counties. The goals of the program are to provide low
income seniors with an opportunity to gain marketable skills that support job
placement opportunities, by assisting them to become more economically self
sufficient through unsubsidized employment and to enhance the economic and
social status of the community in which the program is conducted and improve the
services offered by the non-profit organization to the community. Most recently

UPCOMING ORGANIZATION CHALLENGES
Many new initiatives have taken place in the previous year. Included are:
• Surpassed training enrollment goals 100% to help customers achieve a higher standard
of living.
• Macomb/St. Clair Michigan Works! staff in conjunction with other community leaders and
the Macomb Correctional Facility Administration have joined together to address prisoner
re-entry protocol that include assessment, education, life skills components, employment,
career development and implementation of a pre-parole plan to improve parole success
rates and reduce crime.
• Aging Worker Initiative: A Regional Federal Demonstration Grant, designed to work
with the Dislocated Workers that are 55 years and older. It introduces the customer to
WorkSearch by the AARP Foundation, Career Exploration, and training (if appropriate).
The customer may be enrolled in training (including entrepreneur training), as well as
assisting them with job search and finding employment, depending on individual needs.
• Peer to Peer: This program is designed to enhance the ability of dislocated workers to
regain employment when a company is closing andlor has a mass layoff. A person from
the affected company is chosen as a peer, to assist others being affected by the layoff.
They are there to help answer questions and give each of the employees assistance as it
pertains to getting them back to work or in a training program through Michigan Works.
The Peer will work closely with the staff in the M/SCETA centers and get to know our
services along with being able to offer a variety of additional information to the laid off
workers.
• MI National Career Readiness Certificate (MINCRC)
o Due to recent budget cuts, focus on job placement assistance, intense job
searching assistance, and collection of employment information.
• Michigan Registered Apprenticeship Program (MRAP)
o MRAP provides funding to employers of Joint Apprenticeship Training
Committees who sponsor new apprentices registered with the U.S.
Department of Labor - Office of Apprenticeship. This program will help ensure
that Michigan's employers will have access to skilled workers that will allow
them to survive and grow in an increasingly competitive global economy.
Michigan Works! will determine W.I.A eligibility and forward the MRAP
18
Eligibility/Related Technical Instruction (RTI) reimbursement form for
processing. This will generate, if approved, an employer incentive award of
$2,500 as well as a maximum amount of $3,000 for technical instruction
assistance per person.

The Biggest Challenge(s) Our Department Faces:
• In cooperation with local communities, reexamine and reaffirm targeted
industry programs in order to achieve a greater "alignment of purpose" for
economic development and revitalization initiatives.
• Since local business leaders are not projecting a significant increase in hiring,
unemployment levels are likely to remain well above historic rates for the
balance of 2010. Therefore, providing seminars for the unemployed will
remain as essential component for maintaining the County's economic and
housing stability.
• Small and mid-sized firms may not have the capacity to interpret the business
implications of the numerous federal regulations and programs being
legislated. Therefore, in collaboration with the region's professional service
firms, provide an ongoing series of seminars and workshops to help business
leaders better understand the impact of these changes.
• State Energy Sector Partnership (S.E.S.P): This grant is between the
Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth, and the Macomb
S1. Clair Workforce Development Board.
o In response to rapid growth in the renewable energy sector, we must
train workers with compatible skills in advanced energy storage.
Fifteen employers have indicated their intent to train a combination of
approximately 600 incumbent and newly hired dislocated workers.
o In response to many solar technology companies making plans to hire
hundreds of employees over the next three years, we must train
workers in solar technology. Ten employers have indicated their intent
to train a combination of approximately 79 incumbent and newly hired
dislocated workers.
• Stronger educational relationships
o The message of quality and performance
• Stronger employer/employee relationships
o Responsiveness to training and re·training
o Flexible services
• Refocusing on training opportunities in newly emerging careers.

PERFORMANCE
The Congress recognizes that job training is an investment in human capital and not
an expense. In order to determine whether the investment has been productive
seventeen (17) performance standards have been developed. They are the primary
tools used to evaluate program effectiveness.
