Workforce Development

At Saginaw Future, we understand that workforce development issues are most critical to your business success. That is why we constantly facilitate linkages with labor force preparatory institutions and employment service agencies to help employers meet their labor force needs. Saginaw Future is dedicated to providing services that help your business bottom line with information on recruitment, retention, available tax credits, and staff training opportunities.

National Career Readiness Certificate

The mismatch between the skills required for most jobs and skills of the U.S. workforce is having a significant impact on productivity and revenue across all businesses and industries.  Workers may have traditional educational credentials, like a high school diploma or college degree, but they are only part of the picture and may not give a clear indication of workers' job skills.

In response, a new credential to certify worker skills has been developed.  This portable credential verifies to employers anywhere in the U.S. that an individual has essential core employability skills in Reading for Information, Applied Mathematics, and Locating Information.

Workforce Resource Team

In an effort to respond to employer training needs, the Workforce Resource Team was formed.  This team is a partnership between Saginaw Future Inc., the Saginaw Midland Bay Michigan Works!, the Saginaw County Business and Education Partnership and local training providers.

The purpose of the Workforce Resource Team is to support the immediate and long-term recruitment, training, and retention needs of current and future employers in the Saginaw Valley, focusing on manufacturing, medical, and high tech industry sectors.

This page offers easy access to current training opportunities by providing a crucial link between business and education to help ensure that our workforce is prepared to meet the growing need for skilled workers by our prospering business community.
