The U.S. Department of Labor Apprenticeship Building America initiative continues to accelerate apprenticeship expansion across Southeast Michigan by strengthening employer partnerships and building regional capacity through the WIN Board of Directors and the Advance Michigan Center for Apprenticeship Innovation (AMCAI) connecting employers to skilled, diverse talent pipelines while supporting the development of apprenticeship pathways in high-demand sectors including healthcare, IT and cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, skilled trades, green energy, and mobility. WIN has also helped cultivate a growing ecosystem of U.S. Department of Labor–recognized Registered Apprenticeship Intermediary Group Sponsors, positioning the region to scale high-quality apprenticeship opportunities more effectively.
