“We are deploying the MI Opportunity Partnership to conduct immediate, rapid-response training to quickly and comprehensively train and place out-of-work citizens to fill openings that employers have today, particularly in health care and the skilled trades. This requires a joint, collaborative, and extremely focused effort. Michigan Works! is a key partner as we work to match the thousands of people who are looking for work to the nearly 90,000 job vacancies that currently exist,” (Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, April 6, 2005)
