Michigan Works! Service Center Location Guide

WHAT ARE MICHIGAN WORKS! AGENCIES?

Local Michigan Works! Agencies each serve a geographical area within the state. Their size ranges from 10 counties in Northwest Michigan to single counties such as Ottawa, Livingston, Washtenaw, and Oakland.

Michigan Works! Agencies oversee a wide variety of programs designed to help workers find and keep good jobs and help employers recruit and hire skilled workers. Each Michigan Works! Agency is governed by a Workforce Development Board appointed by local elected officials. The Chair of the Board comes from the private sector, and a majority of the Board members must represent the private sector. Other members of the Board represent community based organizations, labor, education, social services, and vocational rehabilitation. Board members must serve their companies or agencies at a level that permits them to make decisions and commitments on behalf of their employer.

Michigan Works! Agencies do not directly provide services to employers and job seekers. They oversee service providers who are selected through a competitive bidding process to best meet the workforce needs of their local area. Services are available at the local Michigan Works! Services Centers. The primary services available through every Michigan Works! Agency are Michigan's Talent Bank, an automated labor exchange service for employers and job seekers; services to adults, youth, and dislocated workers through the Workforce Investment Act of 1998; a broad range of welfare reform program services, including Work First; and School-to-Work programs for young people.
