Michigan Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist Releases the Michigan Statewide Infrastructure Work Plan

Idea Category: Infrastructure, Jobs Training

Michigan Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist released the Michigan Statewide Infrastructure Work Plan, a comprehensive strategy to provide training for at least 5,000 new infrastructure workers by 2030. The plan is built on four key strategies: expanding training programs, prioritizing the accessibility of infrastructure jobs, tailoring workforce development to specific industry and regional needs, and building up K-12 infrastructure career pathways. “We are committed to making sure the historic investments we’re making to build up Michigan’s infrastructure will benefit Michiganders all across the state,” said Lt. Gov. Gilchrist. “The Michigan Statewide Infrastructure Workforce Plan will give us a clear roadmap to equip 5,000 new workers with the education and training they need to fill in-demand careers with good pay and great benefits. These critical jobs will help us fix roads, expand transit, protect clean water, connect more homes to high-speed internet, build out our clean energy grid and so much more. Let’s keep working together to make sure we have the skilled, qualified workers we need to move Michigan forward."
