What would I actually do on the first day?
It’s a good question when you’re trying to picture yourself in a new field. Maybe you’ve never been in a healthcare lab or picked up a tool on a jobsite. Start by asking what students practice, what they need to bring and what the first week looks like.
If you’re planning what comes next after foster care, finding your footing in a new community, or looking for work that feels like a better fit, you can contact DRM directly. Bring a caseworker, mentor or someone you trust if you’d like.

From first conversation to a training decision
- Tell us what you’re curious about. A career goal or a skill you’d like to try is enough to start.
- Compare the schedule and requirements. Ask about the next cohort, travel, class times, in-person training and prerequisites.
- Check the cost and your funding options. Review tuition and supplies before making a decision.
- Choose your next step. Admissions can explain the application and credential steps for the program you choose.
Explore funding with someone who knows your situation
Michigan Works! can help eligible adults and young adults explore training assistance. If you’ve experienced foster care, a caseworker can help you ask about Michigan’s Youth in Transition resources. Eligibility and covered costs vary. Ask the funding provider about your specific course and start date.
