Live Webinar with Talent
and Industry Experts on January 26
 The Michigan Talent
Investment Agency is hosting a webinar at 3 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26, to
explain the benefits that Michigan employers can earn by taking advantage of a
new grant program designed to reduce training costs and become part of the
successful Michigan Advanced Technician Training (MAT2) program.
What
is MAT2 and how will my company benefit?
MAT2
is an industry-driven initiative to address Michigan’s skills gaps in
manufacturing by partnering with colleges and local employers to offer free
student apprenticeships. Employers say recruiting young people into the trades
and investing in their training is a key value of the MAT2 program.
MAT2 helps companies by providing them with skilled technicians who
earn their associate degrees while gaining on-the-job experience in
high-paying, high-demand, advanced manufacturing careers.
Where
is MAT2 training available?
MAT2
mechatronics training is offered at Baker College of Cadillac, Henry Ford
College, and Oakland Community College; and MAT2 CNC is offered at
Delta College, Henry Ford College, and Kalamazoo Valley College. All programs
are contingent upon industry demand for trainees.
How
much is the employer training grant?
Eligible
companies who register their new MAT2 apprentices this coming school
year are eligible for a one-time award of $5,000 per student. The January
26, 2017 webinar will focus on the excellent return on investment that MAT2
delivers as an industry-developed, dual-education training program.
Keynote
speakers in the Jan. 26 webinar include:
- Harold Snyder,
test lab supervisor at FTE Automotive USA Inc., who will explain how FTE has
successfully applied for MAT2 Employer Training Grants and how FTE
is closing the skills gap with MAT2 apprentices.
- Jennifer
Llewellyn, Oakland County Michigan Works! director, who will discuss the
importance of workforce development and apprenticeships in the metro Detroit
region.
- Denise Van Hee,
Oakland County Michigan Works! business services manager, who will guide prospective
employers on how best to utilize the MAT2 Employer Training Grants.
We look forward to your
participation! It’s time to train your next generation of skilled technicians!
