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.

- Placement into full-time roles with pipeline employer partners
