they need to compete and grow; individuals have
the skills they need for in-demand jobs; and
support an increase in credentials, certificates and
degrees through employer-responsive training.

• VIRTUAL SERVICES: In response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the Michigan Works!
network adapted to meet the needs of job seekers
and employers by offering both in-person and

online workships, to help meet the needs of those
impacted by the pandemic.
