Employers can now search for candidates based on keywords in their resume!
On 10/5/2016 Pure Michigan Talent Connect was optimized to search
job seeker resumes for keywords and phrases in Candidate Search. Candidate Search was previously
limited to searching information in the job seeker profile career information fields.
The change resulted
in significant increases in candidate search results and allows employers to find additional candidate
information including employment history and other pertinent information not included in candidate
profiles.
Employers can now become certified
Veteran Friendly Employers with the MVAA in PMTC!
A new MVAA Certified flag has been
added to the Edit Employer screen which is updated by WDA Admin staff. All job postings for
certified employers will be identified with the American flag icon. Learn more about becoming
MVAA certified.
Other key updates include:
- Updated Logo
- Job Posting Feedback - Add Organization Name

MAT2 Career Days Planned for October 21 and
October 28 for Employers Looking for Mechatronics Talent
Would you like to talk with high school juniors and seniors
who are studying mechatronics? If you are looking for students to learn your
company’s electrical, mechanical, and electronics systems to identify, analyze,
and solve problems with your manufacturing equipment – while they earn their
associates degree -- then sign up today for MAT2 Career Days.
Michigan Advanced Technician Training (MAT2) program employers who
are looking for mechatronics technicians for fall 2017 have the chance to
interview juniors and seniors at two technical high schools in southeast
Michigan. All of the students are currently studying mechatronics and are
interesting in learning more about career opportunities. Companies will have the chance to share information about
their company’s products and services. Students will bring their resumes and
will be prepared to talk about their skills and interests. MAT2 Career Days will be held on Friday, October
21 and Friday, October 28. The MAT2 program is an innovative and
industry-defined approach to technical education. MAT2 employers pay
a student’s tuition, a school stipend, and wages during the student’s work
period. MAT2 students commit to their employer for a total of
five years --three years while they attend school and for two years after they
receive their associates degree. For MAT2 Career Day details and to register for
one or both of the Career Days, contact Valerie Jemerson at Jemersonv1@michigan.gov.
