We’ve reported previously the House budget would have eliminated funding for the Going PRO Talent Fund, which provides job training grants for employers, and Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates, which helps prepare students for the workplace.
Kinexus Group spokesperson Mary Morphey tells us while there was a cut to Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates, the program will survive.
“Jobs for Michigan’s graduates were cut by $515,000, but really in a world of survivability, in light of the cuts, we fared well,” Morphey said.
As for Going PRO, Morphey says its funding was cut by $22 million, down to $33 million.
Morphey says because Going PRO is competitive, the impact of the cuts in the budget just won’t be known until the next grant cycle.
