Northwest Michigan Works! Adopts Newtons Road Career Investigator
Consolidating Career Exploration tools to benefit area youth, job seekers and employers
Northwest Michigan Works! and Newton's Road have collaborated in many capacities over the last decade to support our young people in exploring high-in-demand, family-sustaining careers in the Northwest Lower Michigan region. We are pleased to announce that Northwest Michigan Works! will adopt the Newton's Road Career Investigator as their primary career pathway exploration platform to support individuals as they learn more about careers that are in-demand across the region.
Consolidating to a single platform has many benefits:
One regionally centric tool supporting youth and adults in exploring "hot" local careers.
One platform for local businesses to reach students and adults seeking career information about high-demand careers, and grow awareness of their work experiences to test-drive careers–which in turn enables employers to identify strong candidates they could hire down the road.
One place to find local advantage pathways to prepare for these careers with less time and money.
One community investment with less total regional cost and customer misperception caused by overlapping or duplicative efforts.
Access the Newton’s Road Career Investigator through Northwest Michigan Works! at nwm.org/CareerInvestigator.
The Career Investigator was developed by Newton's Road with funding to date by Rotary Charities, Northwestern Michigan College, Munson Healthcare Foundation, Grand Traverse Area Manufacturing Council, Hagerty Insurance, the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation and several other businesses and individual donors.
Networks Northwest is proud to become a multi-year sponsor of the Career Investigator in 2023.
