With approximately 35,000 annual openings in the professional trades projected through the year 2032, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer joined the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity to proclaim May as Professional Trades Month.
The annual observance honors hard-working Michiganders in professional trades while encouraging students and adults to explore education and career opportunities leading to high-wage, in-demand careers.
Businesses across Michigan need highly skilled workers in sectors such as agriculture, construction, education, energy, healthcare, hospitality, information technology, manufacturing, mobility and outdoor recreation.
Many of these high-demand, high-wage careers do not require a four-year degree and have pathways that focus on credentials, certificates, on-the-job training and Registered Apprenticeships. Learn more here.

Michigan’s success would not be possible without the brave men and women who have chosen to serve in our armed forces, whose service reflects the resilient spirit and patriotism embodied by so many of our citizens.
That’s something the all-veteran team at Veterans’ Employment Services (VES) understands.
The concept of veterans helping veterans is a trademark of the VES team and one of the keys to its success. Veterans face many challenges when transitioning out of the military – finding meaningful employment should not be one of them.
VES helps eligible veterans and their spouses find meaningful employment and work to eliminate barriers they may face. If you or a loved one are a veteran who needs help finding a job, go to Michigan.gov/VES to get started.
