With the Going PRO Talent Fund (Talent Fund) Michigan employers can receive funds to assist in training, developing and retaining current and newly hired employees.

The Michigan Works Going Pro Talent Fund program gives businesses the chance to upskill current and future employees to help maintain staff and reduce turnover in high-skill positions in today's tech-infused economy. Training funded by the Talent Fund must be short-term and fill a demonstrated talent need. Businesses that submit successful applications will be reimbursed (up to $2,000 per person) for training. 

What Types of Employees are Eligible? 

  • Permanent, full-time employee of the employer when the approved training begins. 
  • Works primarily in Michigan, and for whom the employer pays all applicable taxes to the State of Michigan, regardless of where the employee lives. 
  • 18 years of age or older.
  • Citizen or legally authorized to work in the United States.
