The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (doing business as the Michigan Workforce Development Agency) received a $16 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) under the WIOA Dislocated Worker National Reserve Demonstration Grants program (CFDA 17.280), effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of June 30, 2029. This award supports the development and implementation of innovative pilot and demonstration projects designed to address employment and training needs for dislocated workers, incumbent workers, and new entrants to the workforce across Michigan.

Under this grant, the awardee will deliver comprehensive workforce development services including career counseling, job training, employment placement assistance, skills development in critical occupations, and wraparound supportive services. The program provides broad flexibility to conduct training across diverse sectors such as infrastructure, clean energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology. As a state workforce development agency, Michigan LEO will likely sub-award portions of this funding to local workforce development boards, community colleges, nonprofit organizations, and intermediary agencies to deliver targeted services throughout Michigan's service area. The funded activities will generate outcomes and lessons learned intended to inform broader workforce development practices at the national level.
