The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration provides WIOA Dislocated Worker Formula Grants, which fund comprehensive employment and training services to help individuals who have lost their jobs due to layoffs, economic transitions, or other involuntary job losses. This $33.7 million award to the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity will enable the delivery of career services, skills training, and supportive assistance through the American Job Center network to facilitate the reemployment of dislocated workers across Michigan. The state agency will sub-award portions of the grant to local workforce development boards, community colleges, non-profit organizations, and other entities to provide tailored services at the community level, including job search assistance, career planning, occupational skills training, and supportive services like transportation and childcare. Key performance outcomes tracked include employment placement rates and employment retention.
