Back to Work Resources Help Businesses Find Talent

LANSING, Mich.—As the economy continues to reopen, the Michigan Dept. of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) launched a new ‘Back to Work’ effort to highlight programs and services that help businesses and their current workforce needs.

The new online resource – Michigan.gov/BackToWork – centralizes programs and services aimed at helping employers fill job openings, provide safe, healthy work environments for workers and address other business-related needs.

“As Michigan’s economic outlook continues to improve, and we get back to a new normal, our administration is turning our attention to uplifting Michiganders and supporting businesses in getting back to work,” said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. “We’re looking to the future. By providing tangible resources for businesses who need our immediate assistance after a challenging year, we ensure we build back even stronger.” 

The ‘Back to Work’ effort comes at a time when the state is faced with five predominant workforce challenges:
