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
The Networks Northwest team did a great job to help the City of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township collaborate in addressing housing challenges in our community. They facilitated dialogue with Planning Commissioners, community stakeholders, and municipal officials to develop a plan for cohesive zoning in areas of growth for our two governments. Further, they were able to pinpoint the challenges in each unit and propose changes that would be beneficial all around. Together, we believe we'll be better prepared for housing developments and job growth in our region. We look forward to working with them on future projects!
