LWD is a joint initiative of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and the Detroit Experience Factory, for the purpose of retaining and attracting college graduates to Detroit by promoting Detroit as a great place to live, work, and play.

Through these efforts, we aim to positively impact the number of college graduates who stay in Michigan.

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation is currently seeking industry partners for the 2015-2016 program year for the Michigan Advanced Technician Training (MAT2) program. 

MAT2 was developed in order to address two critical issues facing the manufacturing and technology industries: a widening skills gap and an aging workforce. This initiative functions similar to an apprenticeship program, where students alternate between classroom instruction and on-the-job training, gaining the necessary hands-on skills and real-world experiences for them to become a successful and productive member of the workforce. 

Learn more how your organization may benefit from MAT2 during one of our upcoming webinars: http://puremi.ch/MAT2Webinar.
