Adult Career Training Provides Education and Job Skills

Northwest Michigan Works! is partnering with the Wexford-Missaukee Career Technical Center and local employers to offer Adult Career Training (ACT). The free, 18-week adult education and training program offers a direct path to job skills, a high school diploma, GED, or academic skill remediation, and entry-level positions with local employers within the local manufacturing, health care, or hospitality industries. Watch the video to hear what two ACT students have to say about the program. More information about the program is available at wmisd.org/act
