One year ago, my administration launched the No Worker Left Behind program to give 100,000 workers who have been hit hard by our changing economy the opportunity to get the college degree or job training they need to get new, good-paying jobs.
So here's how it works: for three years only, free training is available for workers who have lost their jobs or who are ready to advance beyond low-skill jobs. It's first come, first served. With training and certification through No Worker Left Behind, Michigan workers can get good-paying jobs and fill existing job openings in high-demand fields like nursing, or accounting, or auto mechanics.
