Michigan’s Future Talent Needs

Wednesday, Apr 10, 2013
  • News
  • Viewpoints
Michigan’s economy is changing rapidly. About one-half of all good paying jobs today require an education beyond high school and many require specialized skills in science, technology, engineering or math.
Within the next decade, Michigan will need 900,000 additional workers with at least a two-year college degree or certificate. Michigan employers are currently experiencing some difficulty finding talent with the right skills. Soon, the skills shortage will be compounded by not having enough well educated workers.

The solution is to make sure more high school graduates are ready to enter a trade school, college or university; increase the number of college graduates and expand training programs that help workers constantly re-tool their skills.
