The Going PRO Talent Fund, managed by the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, provides financial support to employers for short-term training aimed at filling skill gaps within their workforce. This initiative helps employers develop and retain talent by ensuring training leads to industry-recognized credentials.
(ET) on Friday, May 2, 2025.The Going PRO Talent Fund (Talent Fund) makes awards to employers to assist in training, developing and retaining current and newly hired employees. Training funded by the Talent Fund must be short-term and fill a demonstrated talent need experienced by the employer. Training must lead to a credential for a skill that is transferable and recognized by industry.
The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity - Workforce Development (LEO-WD) awards the funds to employers through Michigan Works! Agencies (MWA). MWA Business Services staff conduct fact-finding sessions with employers to assess their talent skill gaps, suitable training providers and availability of federal funding sources. The MWA Business Services staff can then determine whether Talent Fund awards would be appropriate to help close the skills gap. During the application period, MWAs submit Talent Fund applications to LEO-WD on behalf of their partnering employer.
