The grants total $363,064. Michigan employers often find it difficult to locate skilled workers with strong academic and technical skills. The Competency-Based Curriculum grants help education and training providers develop curricula to address the skill needs of Michigan’s workforce. They also provide an incentive for the creation of business and education partnerships to propose solutions. “These grants will be used to develop competency-based curricula for manufacturing skills training, a medical assistant certificate program, and operations mechanics working in a regulated manufacturing environment,” Dr. Bolin said. “The Department of Career Development is pleased to help support the establishment of effective training programs for these important careers. Individuals, employers, and Michigan’s overall economy will benefit from these awards.” The grant recipients, the amounts they have been awarded, and brief descriptions of how the money will be used are as follows:
