Michigan Works! Association

The Michigan Works! System is the first unified workforce development system in the country and an instrumental partner for developing Michigan’s economic future.

As a demand-driven workforce development model, the Michigan Works! System contributes to the state’s economic vitality through the provision of workforce training and services that meet the needs of targeted business sectors and employers.

Twenty-five Michigan Works! Agencies comprise the Michigan Works! System. Each Agency is a multi-faceted organization that focuses on innovative, proactive solutions to meet the demands of a rapidly changing economy.

Michigan Works! Agencies oversee workforce development services in their local area and correspond locally to workforce development boards (WDB). Each WDB, in partnership with Local Elected Officials (LEO), is responsible for the development and oversight of workforce development programs in their local area.

WDB members represent the private sector as well as education, economic development and other sectors, and influence workforce development in their community.

With a statewide network of more than 100 Michigan Works! Service Centers, this demand-driven, locally-responsive System serves over three million customers each year.

For more information on the Michigan Works! System or to locate a Michigan Works! Service Center, visit www.michiganworks.org, or call the statewide toll-free number 1-800-285-WORKS (9675) to be automatically routed to the nearest Michigan Works! Service Center.

The Michigan Works! System

Michigan Works! Service Centers offer a broad spectrum of services to meet the needs of employers and assist those seeking employment.
