What is the application process for employers?
The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity-Workforce Development (LEO-WD) awards funds to employers through Michigan
Works! Agencies (MWA).
- MWA Business Services staff conduct fact-finding sessions with employers to assess their talent skill gaps, suitable training providers and availability of federal funding sources.
- If they determine Going PRO Talent Fund awards are appropriate, they grant the employers access to a convenient online application submission process.
- Interested employers should engage their local MWA early to allow ample time to complete the fact-finding process to ensure applications are submitted in time for review prior to established annual deadlines.
