Get Your Share of $29 Million in Skilled Trades Funding

What is the STTF?

The Skilled Trades Training Fund is one of Michigan’s most successful programs to combat manufacturing’s talent crisis. Since Fiscal Year 2014, more than 1,400 companies have received awards averaging nearly $34,000 to go toward talent development, improved productivity, and greater employee retention. MMA continues to advocate for more funding as the STTF provides creative, driven, future-focused manufacturers with the tools and talent to compete in a global economy.
