Michigan's Dept. of Talent & Economic Develoment (TED) continues to grow the Michigan Career Pathway Alliance (MICPA) while promoting careers in the professional trades through the [Going PRO campaign](https://www.mitalent.org/skilled-trades). 

Construction employers can get involved in this statewide initiative by [registering as an employer here.](http://www.michigan.gov/ted/0,5863,7-336-71173-428312--,00.html)  View of list of [17 recommendations](http://www.michigan.gov/documents/ted/MichiganCareerPathwayAllianceRecommendations_576666_7.pdf) being enacted to boost the productivity of Michigan's K-12 education system to help create students better prepared to enter the professional trades.
