History of Innovation

A visionary process that spanned several decades covering both Democratic and Republican administrations culminated in 1996 with the creation of the Michigan Works! System. The long-standing, disparate workforce development programs are now in a locally controlled system that is better positioned to respond to local needs.

Michigan created the first statewide, unified workforce development system in the country. Our customers - every employer, job seeker and worker - can now find everything under one roof at a Michigan Works! Service Center.

Today, the 25 local Michigan Works! agencies oversee a statewide network of over 100 Michigan Works! Service Centers, which are geographically distributed throughout the State. Customers can also call our statewide toll-free number, 1-800-285-WORKS, that automatically routes callers to their closest Michigan Works! Service Center.
