Michigan Works! and WIOA training assistance

Michigan Works! agencies can help eligible career seekers explore training assistance through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Your local agency reviews your circumstances, training goals, program eligibility, and available funding.

Michigan Training Connect (MiTC) is the state’s eligible training provider list for WIOA Individual Training Accounts. Program listing and individual funding approval are separate steps. Ask your Michigan Works! advisor to confirm authorization before relying on assistance to pay tuition.

DRM offers payment plans. Ask admissions for the current payment schedule, deposit requirements and terms before enrolling.

Recent high school or GED graduate?

The Michigan Achievement Skills Scholarship may help eligible students pay for approved career training. Graduation in 2023 or later alone does not establish eligibility: the state also has residency, prior-degree, prior-award and 15-month enrollment rules. Ask admissions to confirm your selected DRM program and follow the state application process.

Michigan Reconnect and older short-term scholarships

Michigan Reconnect currently supports eligible programs at public community and Tribal colleges. It should not be treated as confirmed funding for DRM tuition. The older Reconnect Skills Scholarship and Reconnect Short-Term Training Program are closed to new awards.
