Michigan Works! Association Training WHAT IS MICHIGAN WORKS! TRAINING? The Michigan Works! Association provides a variety of training to Michigan's workforce development professionals. Michigan Works! Association training is open to staff of Michigan Works! Agencies (MWAs), Associate Members, MWA subcontractors, partner agencies, Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth staff, and the general public.
HOW DO I REGISTER? Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis; therefore, early registration is recommended. Space is limited. Registrations are accepted by mail, online, and via fax on, or before, the deadlines listed in workshop descriptions. All registrations must include payment, a purchase order or the equivalent. Receipts are available upon request for payments made. On-site registrations for a workshop are subject to availability and pre-registration may be a requirement for attendance. Participants are encouraged to register for the workshop(s) of their choice as soon as possible. The registration fee includes lunch, unless otherwise stated, and materials. If the registration fee is not received prior to the workshop, you will be invoiced. Your registration will be confirmed by e-mail or fax. Initially, each agency is limited to three (3) registrants per workshop. Additional registrants will be added to a waiting list and notified that they are on the list. Further, the Association will contact those on the waiting list, if space becomes available. Please call (517) 371-1100, ext. 205 for further information.
POLICY FOR LATE PAYMENT Advance payment of training registrations is strongly encouraged. Should you prefer to receive an invoice, it is very important that you include the correct billing address on your registration form to ensure timely payment processing. A five (5) percent late fee will be added to the outstanding balance of each invoice that has aged more than 30 days. A five (5) percent late fee will be assessed each month until the invoice is paid in full. Any organization that has three late payment occurrences will be precluded from attending training unless their registrations have been paid in advance.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I WANT TO CANCEL MY REGISTRATION? You may cancel your registration by FAX [(517) 371-1140] up to three (3) business days prior to the workshop and receive a full refund. Cancellations received less than three (3) business days prior to the workshop will be invoiced, and any payments received will not be refunded. Substitutions are welcome.
WHERE DO I STAY DURING THE WORKSHOP? Lodging accommodations are the responsibility of the participant. Michigan Works! Association does not generally set guest room blocks for one-day training sessions, unless otherwise noted in the workshop description.
AUXILIARY AIDS AND SERVICES Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities by notifying Michigan Works! Association two (2) weeks prior to the workshop.
SPECIAL NOTE Individuals attending training sessions are requested to refrain from using heavily scented personal care products, in order to enhance accessibility for everyone.
