Michigan Works! Annual Impact Awards
The Impact Awards honor those who have contributed to strengthening Michigan’s economy by actively creating jobs and developing fresh talent in their communities.
The Michigan Works! Impact Awards is a unique, highly publicized event that celebrates the economic impact of newly created jobs, transformational training and effective talent pipeline development within our communities.
During the event, state legislators present tributes to award winners, who tell their story and the role Michigan Works! played in their success.
