In Northeast Michigan, where manufacturing remains a cornerstone of the regional economy, the challenge is clear: employers need skilled, reliable workers but the traditional talent pipeline isn’t keeping pace. An aging workforce, geographic barriers and persistent skills gaps have made recruitment and retention increasingly difficult — especially in rural communities.

Rather than tackling these challenges in isolation, a coalition of partners is demonstrating what’s possible when systems align. MMA, Iosco RESA , the Michigan Workforce Training and Education Collaborative and Michigan Works Northeast Consortium have come together to build a scalable, sustainable workforce solution rooted in partnership.

Creating pathways into healthcare careers takes collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to removing barriers for learners. Those themes are front and center in New America's latest report, Degree Apprenticeship: A Remedy for the Health Care Talent Crisis.

The report highlights Michigan's leadership in degree apprenticeship and features the work we're leading alongside the Health Careers Alliance (Workforce Intelligence Network - WIN), employer partners, community colleges, and many others. It also shares the perspective of our President, Dr. Amy Lee, whose experience reflects why expanding accessible, earn-while-you-learn pathways matters. Thank you to New America for highlighting these collaborative efforts and to all of our partners who continue to make this work possible.
