Adult Career Training Students Celebrate Completion and Attend Employer Showcase
19 students were recognized at a special Completion Ceremony for the first ever Adult Career Training (ACT) program in northern Michigan. The 18-week program was offered through collaboration between local employers, the Wexford-Missaukee Career Technical Center, and Northwest Michigan Works! The ACT program gave students the opportunity to earn a high school diploma or GED and learn job skills in manufacturing, health care, or hospitality pathways. Following the Completion Ceremony, the students participated in an Employer Showcase where they talked with employers about local job opportunities. Watch the video to find out more.
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!
