Workforce Development: Connecting great employees, educators, and employers in Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo & St. Joseph Counties

Michigan Works! Southwest is building local prosperity one great job at a time. We see opportunities when we build connections between job seekers looking to grow their careers and employers seeking quality candidates with the job skills needed. We look at the big picture, watching employment trends and working with our community partners to make sure connections are made between employers, educators, trainers, and employees.

We’re plugged into the specific opportunities here in each of the four counties we serve; Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo and St. Joseph. As local community members, we have a deep understanding of existing and growing industries, training and education opportunities, and the current status of our workforce. We integrate services across agencies and programs for maximum impact on our service area.
