A wide variety of career events are taking place across the state to bring job seekers and employers together. Attending career events helps to expand your network, creating opportunities to engage with and get feedback from employers as well as connect with other job seekers to share best practices and support.
Michigan Shifting Gears and the Shifting Code program are career-transition programs designed to help seasoned professionals develop the skills and training to transition into small company work environments (Shifting Gears) or into IT careers (Shifting Code). The programs include an assessment, comprehensive classroom, mentorship, coaching, small business simulation and internships. By the end of this training, the participant is transformed into a more adaptable professional with experiences, knowledge and skills related to their new role.
