What You'll Learn
The Going PRO Talent Fund makes awards to employers to assist in training, developing, and retaining current and newly hired employees. Over $50 million in funding is available for 2023! This year, the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity of Michigan has announced some key changes.
- The funding amount available per employee has increased to $2,000 per employee or $3,500 for USDOL registered apprentices.
- Apprenticeship funds are available for every year an employee is in a USDOL apprenticeship, not just their first year as in previous years.
- For the 2023 fiscal year the second cycle submission period begins in May for Independent application, and in March for Industry Led Collaborative applications.
