MichWorks Contractors connects the pipeline to paid, real-world work. Through the Michigan Works system and a network of vetted contractors, students move from credential to apprenticeship to placement — earning while they learn. It closes the loop between Curriculum Dynamics training and an actual career, funded in part by state and federal workforce programs.

How It Works

  • Students complete a Curriculum Dynamics credential aligned to in-demand trades
  • Michigan Works matches eligible students to funded apprenticeships and OJT slots
  • A vetted contractor network provides paid on-the-job training and mentorship
  • Competencies are verified with skill badges as students progress toward journeyman-level work
  • Placement into full-time roles with pipeline employer partners

Contractor Network

  • Vetted electrical, mechanical, machining, robotics, and EV/energy contractors
  • Employers who co-develop curriculum around their real workforce needs
  • Apprenticeship sponsors offering earn-while-you-learn pathways
  • Regional focus on Michigan with expansion through the ICC node network

Funding & Eligibility

  • Michigan Works and DOL WIOA programs for eligible students and career changers
  • Employer-sponsored apprenticeship and stipend support
  • Coordination with workforce boards for displaced-worker retraining
