The Skills in Sync: Partnership Insights Snapshot is now available. This new resource distills information gathered during the Skills in Sync roundtable series hosted in April 2026, which brought together employers and educators from across Michigan to discuss educator-industry partnerships.
In total, 40 participants representing 14 counties contributed to a robust conversation on strengthening career connected learning. Their insights, captured in the three-page summary, highlight the importance of a holistic partnership approach that elevates student experience, strengthens program structure, deepens employer engagement and connects all partners within a full ecosystem designed to support learners.

We are excited to announce that the Skills in Sync Regional Partnership Pilots Request for Proposal is now live! The pilot will support regions in building stronger, more sustainable partnerships between schools and manufacturers, with a focus on planning, stakeholder engagement, and expanding high-quality career connected learning.
Help spread the word and encourage your networks to apply. We will also be hosting a webinar on Tuesday, June 16 at 1 p.m. EDT. You can find the Request for Proposal, webinar information and related resources at Michigan.gov/SkillsinSync.
Our upcoming All Hub Quarterly Meeting will feature updates on several key initiatives across the workgroups as well as highlight new resources from the Community & Worker Economic Transition Office and the University of Michigan’s Electric Vehicle Center.
We’ll share a brief recap of the Skills in Sync roundtables and outline the next phase of the initiative, including the launch of regional partnership pilots later this summer. The team will also provide the latest on the Reliable Rides Incentive Grant Pilot Program and the Auto Workforce Transition Report. In addition:
-
The Community & Worker Economic Transition Office will present the upcoming Community Transition Playbook, a practical resource to provide communities guidance and tools in navigating economic transitions so that they can develop and implement their own economic diversification strategies.
-
The University of Michigan’s Electric Vehicle Center will present the new EV Workforce Portal, a centralized hub of resources designed to support employers in the evolving EV landscape.
Join us virtually on Thursday, June 18, from 10:30 a.m. to noon to learn more.
