Apprenticeships are an investment in our future workforce, and we couldn't be more proud of our team for securing a $3.9M Apprenticeship Building America grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. The goal of this grant is to establish Pre-apprenticeship programs that lead to Registered Apprenticeship Program enrollment. Michigan Works! Berrien, Cass, Van Buren is the only organization in Michigan to receive funding, and one of 43 organizations across the country to be awarded this competitive grant. Way to go, team! 👏 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gwF663WK #apprenticeships #workforce #grantfunding #michiganworks

We're thrilled to see our team at Youth Solutions, Inc. visit Oakland Schools to deliver Connecting Careers to the Core, professional development training to equip their team with strategies linking academics to students' career interests. 📚💡😊
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of visiting Oakland schools to deliver Connecting Careers to the Core (CCC), a professional development training to equip them with strategies linking academics to students career interests. Throughout the training, career readiness support staff: 🔍 Learned how to identify transferable skills and connect them to specific units or lessons to help students understand the real-world relevancy in their schoolwork. 🔍Participated in a "mock" mini lesson, showcasing practical applications of our training. 🔍Explored how strategies learned through CCC can integrate and support career readiness/development into core academic classes. Interested in bringing this training to your school?
