The State of Michigan has a program for those laid off and looking for a fresh start. According to a recent Detroit Free Press Article:
Two years after Michigan launched its No Worker Left Behind initiative, one thing’s for certain: Laid-off workers can’t get enough of the popular job-training program.
State economic development officials are likely to exceed their goal of training 100,000 residents in three years. At the end of June, 81,217 Michiganders had enrolled in the program, and nearly 8,000 were on a waiting list to attend either orientation sessions or their first classes.
The response has been so high that workforce officials expect the state to continue offering No Worker Left Behind beyond mid-2010, when the program is supposed to end.
