AI Re-Entry Accelerator: Paid Pathways for Rural Women
Build statewide workforce infrastructure that delivers AI "refresh" training and paid fellowships so rural women re-enter work with current, verifiable AI skills.
The AI Re-Entry Accelerator builds durable re-entry infrastructure through Michigan Works! agencies. Rural women returning after career breaks complete a practical AI refresher, earn credentials and work samples, access supportive services, and transition into paid fellowships with employer partners. A train-the-trainer model equips workforce staff to deliver the program statewide beyond the grant period. Measurable outcomes include increased AI fluency, credential attainment, and accelerated placement into quality jobs aligned with regional demand.
