Grant Funding Available for Workforce Training Center Equipment

The State of Michigan has allocated $3 million to implement the Michigan Workforce Training Center Equipment Grant Program to support the needs of qualified training providers that offer workforce training for qualified employers and individuals in Michigan. Workforce training includes, but is not limited to, talent enhancement, increasing worker productivity, development of workforce skills, leadership and management training, as well as worker retention.

The program provides funding to 15 local or nonprofit economic development organizations, or their designees, who are responsible for accepting, reviewing and approving applications from providers in their geographic region. The application window will close on Jan. 19, 2022, at 5 p.m.
