Chris Holman welcomes back Stephanie Beckhorn, Director, Office of Employment & Training (E&T), Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity Topic: 2023 E&T Annual Report Before we get started, can you tell us about LEO's Office of Employment and Training? The Office of Employment & Training released its annual report this week. What are some of the key findings from that report? What are the key partnerships and programs making the findings in this report possible? Earlier this year, LEO unveiled the state’s first-ever Michigan Statewide Workforce Plan.

A new report shows that Michigan is #2 in the nation for helping residents get employed and serves more individuals than any state in the Midwest. A press release with more information is attached. Additional key findings from the report include: Nearly 300K Michiganders supported with workforce development resources and programs More than 11K businesses supported Almost 25K industry-recognized credentials earned More than 167K Michiganders employed Michigan is #2 in the Nation for Helping Residents Get Employed, Serves More Participants than Any Midwest State New report shines a light on the state’s efforts to drive business growth, attract and retain talent, and build vibrant communities LANSING, Mich. — Michigan provides employment services to more participants than any other state in the Midwest and is #2 in the nation for helping adults get employed. These accomplishments are exemplified through the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity’s (LEO) 2023 Employment and Training Annual Report. The report highlights the workforce resources being deployed across the state to drive continued business growth, build vibrant communities, and attract and retain key talent to fill the state’s vast pipeline of opportunities. LEO’s Office of Employment and Training partners with Adult Education providers, Community Rehabilitation Programs and the Michigan Works! network to provide programs locally. “Our dedication to creating opportunities that support Michiganders is key to building a resilient and inclusive economy,” said LEO Director Susan Corbin. “As we actively work to leave no one behind, I believe our partnerships with the Bureau of Services for Blind Persons, Michigan Rehabilitation Services, and Workforce Development and Operations are crucial. These collaborations and resources ensure that all Michigan residents, regardless of disability, have access to meaningful employment opportunities. By working together, we not only support individuals in achieving their career goals but exemplify our commitment to ensuring every individual can contribute to and thrive within Michigan’s workforce." Programs like the Bureau of Services for Blind Persons, Michigan Rehabilitation Services, Workforce Development and Operations are supported by nearly 800 employees and 40-plus programs, services and initiatives. These programs make up 26.5% of LEO’s budget, totaling $760 million.
