Join Michigan Works! Southeast at Washtenaw Community College on Friday, November 14, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM for a one-of-a-kind Race to Talent Event—a hands-on, employer-focused event designed to take the guesswork out of launching a Registered Apprenticeship Program. Whether you're just getting started or ready to grow, we’ll help you overcome two of the most common barriers of understanding and completing Department of Labor (DOL) paperwork and finding the right training provider or aligning your existing curriculum.

We’ll highlight how group sponsors and training providers work together to make Registered Apprenticeship simple, scalable, and impactful—especially in high-demand fields like IT, Cybersecurity, and Advanced Manufacturing.

During this event, you will:

• Hear directly from the State Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity,

• Connect with DOL Group Sponsors from Michigan Works! Southeast to learn practical steps to get started

• Hear from a panel of employers and apprentices offering real stories from the field,

• Tour WCC’s state-of-the-art training facilities.

You’ll leave with a clear roadmap to register your apprenticeship program and be connected to the partners to make it happen—as easy as 1, 2, 3. Space is limited—register now and join the race to build your talent pipeline through apprenticeship!
