The Academy for Manufacturing Careers, in partnership with South Central Michigan Works!, is the first organization in the state to register an apprentice with The U.S. Department of Labor under the newly announced Michigan Registered Apprenticeship Program (MRAP), which took affect August 1, 2009.
In late June, the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth announced creation of the MRAP. The program, which operates through the Michigan Works! agencies across the State and is funded by $1 million of the federal stimulus package, offers an incentive of $1,000 per new apprentice for employers who sponsor U.S. Department of Labor registered apprenticeships.
An organization of The Enterprise Group of Jackson, The Academy for Manufacturing Careers (AMC) is a certified U.S. Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship Program through the Jackson Area Manufacturers Association in partnership with South Central Michigan Works! Since its inception in 2005, there have been over 1,720 course registrations and approximately 100 apprentices enrolled in the program. The AMC offers classes taught by experienced professionals and industry leaders and delivered using flexible scheduling to meet the needs of both full-time students and adults already employed in the manufacturing industry. AMC’s compressed courses are completed within weeks, not months. Customized training is also available based upon individual company needs.
