Transforming Michigan’s Adult Learning Infrastructure

Type Policy Brief or Report
Year 2008
Level State
State(s) Michigan
Policy Areas Education
Michigan’s economy is transforming to one that demands new skills, knowledge, and credentials, especially post-secondary education. However, there are fewer adults able to meet this growing need; in fact, one out of three working-age Michigan adults lacks the basic skills or credentials to attain a family-sustaining job and contribute to the state’s economy. This report recommends that Michigan transforms its adult learning infrastructure to create a unified strategic approach to increasing basic skills and post-secondary credential attainment. It also outlines a variety of programs that improve the skills and abilities of workers to help them prepare to access this emerging market.
