We’re working together to help more adults in Northern Michigan earn the skills and credentials they need to succeed. Thanks to a Sixty by 30 grant secured by Northwestern Michigan College and Northwest Michigan Works!, our goal is to raise educational attainment in our region from 49% to 60% by 2030.
The grant funds new staff and marketing support to help showcase career pathways for students and employees across the region.
