Skills Up North Recognizes First Students to Complete the Program
Northwest Michigan Works! and the Traverse Bay Area ISD held a completion ceremony to recognize the first participants in the Skills Up North program. The 11 members of the first class completed course work in automotive technology, culinary arts, or welding and fabrication. They also worked on completing their GEDs or improving their academic skills. The program is designed to help the students learn skills to improve their employability and wage earning potential. Watch the video to find out more. You can also find more information by going to the Skills Up North section of the TBAISD website.
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!
