The Future of Michigan’s Talent Pipeline
Michigan employers continue to face workforce shortages while too many students leave school without clear pathways to careers. How do we better connect education, workforce needs, and real-world learning?
Join the Grand Rapids Chamber and former Michigan Governor Rick Snyder for a conversation about the future of workforce development. Governor Snyder will share his vision for Innovation Districts, an approach designed to give schools greater flexibility to expand career-connected learning, strengthen employer partnerships, and create more opportunities for students to gain real-world experience before entering the workforce.
Topics include:

Michigan’s workforce and talent challenges
Innovation Districts and educational flexibility
Career-connected learning, apprenticeships, and employer partnerships
Strengthening connections between education and workforce needs

Whether you’re struggling to fill positions today or thinking about the talent your organization will need in the future, join us to explore innovative solutions for strengthening Michigan’s talent pipeline and preparing the next generation of workers.
