The
Michigan Department of Career Development (MDCD) today announced the award of
$4,864,153 in Food Assistance Employment and Training grants to 24 Michigan
Works! Agencies. The funding will be used to help adults ages 18-50, without
dependents, and able to work, to find employment in order to retain their food
stamp eligibility and eventually become independent.
The
Food Assistance Employment and Training Program is administered by 24 locally
governed Michigan Works! Agencies and Workforce Development Boards statewide.
The
Michigan Department of Career Development is the state government agency charged
with providing the skilled workforce Michigan needs to enhance and maintain
its economy. To this end, the state's new career and training development agency
is working with employers, K-12 schools, community colleges, and local Workforce
Development Boards to develop a comprehensive career development system. For
