## Request for Proposals: Funding available to support employment preparation and placement programming for young adults throughout the state The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, Workforce Development (LEO-WD) is soliciting proposals for funding to support employment preparation and placement programming for young adults throughout the state.
The purpose of the Young Professionals initiative is to increase career awareness and preparation while reducing youth unemployment. This will be accomplished by introducing under-represented young adults, ages 14 to 24 years old, to the world of work while providing participants and their families with income.
Combined services will place young adults on the right path to gain the skills necessary to achieve lifelong economic self-sufficiency. Local programs will provide career preparation, employment opportunities and supportive services in partnership with American Job Centers (AJC) and under the direction of local Workforce Development Boards (WDBs).
Business Service Teams will play a crucial role in recruitment of employers, with a focus on key regionally in-demand industries, such as Information Technology, Construction, Healthcare and Manufacturing. Potential employer partners include those that have hosted Talent Tours or who participated in career exploration and experience events, such as Manufacturing Month or Careers in Energy Week.
