A New Skill. A More Deliberate Next Step.
For Michigan adults changing careers, returning to work or exploring a fresh direction.
You bring experience with you—even when your next field is new. Reliability, communication, teamwork and problem-solving can become part of your story as you learn practical healthcare or construction skills.
Choose a path around your goal
- Nurse Aide / CNA: explore foundational patient care.
- Phlebotomy Technician: develop blood-collection skills through lecture and hands-on practice.
- Clinical Medical Assistant: 320 hours in a hybrid program, with clinical and administrative fundamentals.
- Patient Care Technician: compare a broader combination of patient-care skills.
- Residential Builder Pre-Licensure or Construction Combo: choose between licensing preparation and construction fundamentals.
See all programs. Compare the actual hours, daily schedule, required hands-on learning, tuition and credential steps before deciding.
Working, parenting and studying?
Ask about hybrid programs and selected virtual courses. These options can offer flexibility, but accelerated training still takes focused time. Admissions can explain which activities are online and when you must attend a campus, lab or clinical placement. DRM serves learners across Michigan through Lansing and Flint locations and available learning formats.
Unemployed or exploring training assistance?
Your local Michigan Works! service center can help you explore career planning, job-search services and possible training assistance under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA is a federal workforce program administered through state and local workforce systems.
DRM is listed on Michigan Training Connect for approved training pathways. Eligibility depends on the individual, the specific program, local authorization and available funds. Ask your Michigan Works! representative to confirm the exact course and obtain any required approval before enrolling or paying. Receiving unemployment benefits alone does not guarantee tuition funding; ask the appropriate agency how training could affect your obligations or benefits.
