MNJTP Overview

Designed as an economic development tool, the Michigan New Jobs Training Program allows community colleges to provide free training for employers that are creating new jobs and/or expanding operations in Michigan. The training for the newly hired workers is paid by capturing the state income tax associated with the new employees' wages.

This is a local program - individual community colleges work directly with employers and local economic development to support job creation. There are no restrictions by industry or employer size.
