Overview

Policy is messy, it is not just black and white. So how do we address the grey in policy? This training is perfect for Michigan Works! Agency policy end user staff and policy implementers (non-management) and will introduce participants to the principles of federal, state, and local policymaking and establish a framework for policy development and implementation. Participants will walk away with an understanding of the why, how and who of policy.

Training Objectives
