Mayor Duggan Announces $100 Million in Job Training Scholarships for Detroiters

On Monday, January 30, Mayor Mike Duggan walked Detroiters through a step-by-step process for accessing their share of $100 million in American Rescue Plan Act funded adult scholarships to help them rejoin the workforce in a new job, or to receive training to start an entirely new career. During an evening address hosted at City Hall and through Zoom, the Mayor introduced residents to five key programs designed to help them improve their livelihoods, no matter where they are in their employment status or job readiness.

“There is a job available today for every Detroiter who wants to work and half of them do not require a college education,” said Mayor Duggan. “Thanks to President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act, we have $100 million in adult scholarships that can help Detroiters who may have been unemployed for more than six months, or who want to be trained for a good paying job in a new industry, access those opportunities.”

The $100 million in scholarships are available across the following five categories, which are designed to support individuals, no matter where they are in their career path:

1. Jump Start Scholarships. Enrollment opened on Tuesday, January 31 for this new scholarship program offered to any Detroiter who has been unemployed for at least the past six months. Scholarships are for the Learn to Earn and High School Degree programs, and any part time training. Between paid income and stipends for living expenses, the program pays an equivalent of nearly $20 per hour, which is considered a living wage. Last week, Mayor Duggan announced 18 community partner organizations that will directly engage with long-term unemployed residents to get them connected to these programs and provide mentorship along the way.

The IDOs will be the city’s boots on the ground for enrolling long-term unemployed Detroiters in the mayor’s ARPA-funded Jump Start program. Each will be tasked with identifying residents from the neighborhoods they’re already doing work in and enrolling them in education or training programs. They will also coach and mentor each participant, monitor their progress and identify potential barriers to success throughout the program.

Participating IDOs also will be eligible for performance-based incentives of up to $2,200 per participant for each track of the program. As each IDO client reaches their milestones in the program, the IDO will receive a financial incentive.

“In the Jump Start Program, participants have a financial incentive to work hard and succeed, and so do the IDOs that are helping them along the way,” said Mayor Duggan. “We really believe that this approach will result in a lot of Detroiters who had stopped trying to find work getting onto a path to gainful employment that can sustain them.”

“Knowing where to start when you’re ready to get into the job market can be hard, especially for people who have been out of the workforce for a while,” said Nicole Sherard-Freeman, who serves as the Mayor’s Group Executive for Jobs, Economy and Detroit at Work. “To be better at coming alongside our residents, we’re taking community-centered partnerships to the next level. A stronger, financially supported network of community-based grassroots organizations that have long-standing relationships deep in our neighborhoods is the next frontier in getting thousands of Detroiters on the road to a better job or a new career.”

2. Learn to Earn Scholarships. Residents who currently read below the 8th grade level can get paid $10 per hour up to 20 hours per week ($800 per month) to improve their reading skills. Hours are flexible and are available on nights and weekends, as well as in person and online. Students typically raise their reading skills by 2 grades over 14 weeks. Residents unemployed for the past six months also are eligible for another $300 Jump Start scholarship per month.

3. High School Diploma Scholarships. Any Detroiter who was scheduled to graduate in 2018 or earlier can get paid $10 per hour for up to 20 hours per week ($800 per month) to earn their diploma or GED. This can help open the door to many good paying jobs that have a high school educational requirement. Hours are flexible and are available on nights and weekends, as well as in person and online. More than 100 diploma scholars already have graduated! Residents unemployed for the past six months also are eligible for another $300 Jump Start scholarship per month.

4. Skills for Life Scholarships. Get hired by the city and paid $15 per hour for three days of work per week and two days of class time. Job opportunities include Park Ambassador, Neighborhood Cleanup, Door to Door Outreach. Classroom work includes training opportunities in a range of careers, including Truck Driver (CDL), Heavy Equipment Operator, Information Technology, Skilled Trades and Healthcare positions. These careers have starting pays ranging from $17-$25 per hour. Today, the city has more than 200 Skills for Live scholars being paid fulltime for work and training. Training lasts from three months to one year, depending on field.

5. 50 Different Career Training Scholarships. The City offers 20 paid and 30 unpaid training programs, offered at no cost to the participants. Training programs are offered across a series of in-demand professions, including health care, information technology, hospitality, trucking and logistics, skilled trades and more. Each training program is detailed in a new Detroit at Work career guide, available at DetroitAtWork.com/guide.

Training income will not affect State assistance eligibility

An important aspect of Jump Start is that income earned through the program does not affect a participants MDHHS benefits, including cash assistance, Medicaid, state emergency relief and food assistance/SNAP benefits.

“The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is committed to providing easy access to public assistance benefits for Michiganders in need while removing any barriers to finding jobs,” said Dwayne Haywood, senior deputy director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Economic Stability Administration. “Employment means better opportunities and allows the people we serve to be successful and realize their dreams. MDHHS is pleased to partner with Mayor Duggan and the City of Detroit on Project Jump Start because it’s a great way to remove barriers to employment. While these Detroiters learn job skills, MDHHS will make sure that they are not penalized for improving themselves by providing for them to continue to access to safety net public assistance benefits.”

Four upcoming Scholarship Fairs

To provide direct assistance to Detroiters wishing to enroll in any of these scholarship programs, Mayor Duggan announced a series of four Scholarship Fairs that will take place during the month of February (details available at www.detroitatwork.com):

  • February 2 at Detroit At Work/Payne Pulliam, 18017 E. Warren, 10 AM – 2 PM
  • February 9 at Detroit At Work/Northwest Activities Center, 18100 Meyers, 10 AM – 1PM
  • February 16 at Boys and Girls Club, 16500 Tireman, 10 AM – 1 PM
  • February 22 at Detroit At Work/Durfee Innovation Society, 2470 Collingwood, 10 AM – 1:30 PM

Several partner employers with employment opportunities will be in attendance at these fairs. In addition to scholarship opportunities, attendees also can access other support programs, such as Project Clean Slate if they need help getting a non-violent offense from at least five years ago expunged from their record if they’ve had no convictions since then.

El alcalde Duggan anuncia $100 millones en becas de capacitación laboral para los habitantes de Detroit

El lunes 30 de enero, el alcalde Mike Duggan condujo paso a paso a los habitantes de Detroit para que pudieran acceder al plan de $100 millones en becas para adultos, que van a ser financiadas por la Ley del Plan de Rescate Estadounidense, para ayudarlos a reincorporarse a la fuerza laboral en un nuevo empleo, o para recibir capacitaciones y comenzar una carrera completamente nueva. Durante el discurso nocturno presentado en el Ayuntamiento y a través de Zoom, el alcalde presentó a los residentes cinco programas clave, diseñados para ayudarlos a mejorar sus recursos, sin importar cómo sea su desarrollo laboral o su preparación anterior.

“Hay un trabajo disponible para todos los habitantes de Detroit que quieran trabajar y la mitad de ellos no requieren una educación universitaria”, dijo el alcalde Duggan. “Gracias a la Ley del Plan de Rescate Estadounidense del presidente Joe Biden, tenemos $100 millones en becas para adultos que van a ayudar a los habitantes de Detroit, que hayan estado desempleados durante más de seis meses, o que deseen capacitarse para un trabajo bien remunerado en una nueva industria y quieran acceder a esas oportunidades.”

Los $ 100 millones en becas están disponibles en las siguientes cinco categorías, que están diseñadas para apoyar a las personas, sin importar en qué etapa de su carrera se encuentren:

1. Becas Jump Start. La inscripción se abrió el martes 31 de enero para este nuevo programa de becas que se ofrece a cualquier residente de Detroit que haya estado desempleado durante al menos los últimos seis meses. Las becas son para los programas Learn to Earn y High School Degree, y cualquier capacitación a tiempo parcial. Entre los ingresos pagados y los estipendios para los gastos de manutención, el programa paga el equivalente a casi $20 por hora, lo que se considera un salario digno. La semana pasada, el alcalde Duggan anunció 18 organizaciones comunitarias asociadas que se comprometerán directamente con los residentes desempleados a largo plazo para conectarlos con estos programas y brindarles orientación en el camino.

Los IDO serán los encargados de inscribir a los desempleados de Detroit a largo plazo en el programa Jump Start del alcalde financiado por ARPA. Cada uno tendrá la tarea de identificar a los residentes de los vecindarios en los que ya están trabajando e inscribirlos en programas de educación o capacitación. También entrenarán y asesorarán a cada participante, monitorearán su progreso e identificarán posibles barreras para el éxito a lo largo del programa.

Los IDO participantes también serán elegibles para incentivos basados en el desempeño de hasta $2.200 por participante para cada vía del programa. A medida que cada cliente de IDO culmine su programa, el IDO recibirá un incentivo financiero.

“En el Programa Jump Start, los participantes tienen un incentivo financiero por la realización de un buen trabajo y el éxito logrado, al igual que los IDO que los ayudarán en el camino”, dijo el alcalde Duggan. “Realmente creemos que este enfoque dará como resultado que muchos habitantes de Detroit que habían dejado de intentar encontrar trabajo se encaminen hacia un empleo remunerado que pueda sostenerlos”.

“Saber por dónde empezar cuando se encuentra listo para ingresar al mercado laboral puede ser difícil, especialmente para las personas que han estado fuera de la fuerza laboral por un tiempo”, dijo Nicole Sherard-Freeman, quien se desempeña como Ejecutiva del área de Empleo y Economía de la Alcaldía de Detroit. “Para ser mejores al acompañar a nuestros residentes, estamos llevando las asociaciones centradas en la comunidad al siguiente nivel. Una red más sólida y con apoyo financiero de organizaciones comunitarias de base que tengan relaciones duraderas en nuestros vecindarios será el próximo paso para poder llevar a miles de habitantes de Detroit hacia un mejor trabajo o una nueva carrera”.

2. Aprenda a Ganar Becas. Los residentes que actualmente se encuentran por debajo del octavo grado de educación básica en cuanto a nivel de lectura, pueden recibir un pago de $10 por hora hasta 20 horas por semana ($800 por mes) para mejorar sus habilidades de lectura. Los horarios son flexibles y están disponibles en las noches y los fines de semana, así como en persona y en línea. Los estudiantes suelen aumentar sus habilidades de lectura en 2 grados durante 14 semanas. Los residentes desempleados durante los últimos seis meses también son elegibles para otra beca Jump Start de $300 por mes.

3. Becas para título de Escuela Secundaria. Cualquier residente de Detroit que estaba programado para graduarse en 2018 o antes puede recibir un pago de $ 10 por hora por hasta 20 horas por semana ($ 800 por mes) para obtener su diploma o GED. Esto puede ayudar a abrir la puerta a muchos trabajos bien remunerados que tienen un requisito de educación secundaria. Los horarios son flexibles y están disponibles en las noches y los fines de semana, así como en persona y en línea. ¡Más de 100 becarios del programa ya se han graduado! Los residentes desempleados durante los últimos seis meses también son elegibles para otra beca Jump Start de $300 por mes.

4. Becas de Habilidades para la Vida. Será contratado por la ciudad y con un pago de $ 15/ hora por tres días de trabajo a la semana y dos días de clase. Las oportunidades de trabajo incluyen Cuidado de Parques, Limpieza de Vecindarios, Visitas casa por casa. El trabajo en el aula incluye oportunidades de capacitación en una variedad de carreras, que incluyen puestos de conductor de camión (CDL), operador de equipo pesado, tecnologías de la información, oficios especializados y atención médica. Estas carreras tienen salarios iniciales que van desde $ 17- $25 por hora. Hoy en día, la ciudad tiene más de 200 becarios de Habilidades para la vida a los que se les paga a tiempo completo por su trabajo y capacitación. La formación dura de tres meses a un año, dependiendo del campo.

5. 50 Becas de diversa Formación Profesional. La Ciudad ofrece 20 programas de capacitación pagados y 30 no pagados, ofrecidos sin costo alguno para los participantes. Los programas de capacitación se ofrecen para profesiones que tienen alta demanda, que incluyen atención médica, tecnologías de la información, hostelería, transporte y logística, oficios especializados y más. Cada programa de capacitación se detalla en una nueva guía profesional de Detroit at Work, disponible en DetroitAtWork.com/guide.

Los ingresos por capacitación no afectarán la elegibilidad para la asistencia estatal

Un aspecto importante de Jump Start es que los ingresos obtenidos a través del programa no afectan los beneficios de MDHHS de los participantes, incluida la asistencia en efectivo, Medicaid, ayuda de emergencia estatal y asistencia alimentaria/beneficios de SNAP.

“El Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Michigan (MDHHS, por sus siglas en inglés) se compromete a proporcionar un fácil acceso a los beneficios de asistencia pública para los habitantes de Michigan que lo necesiten y, al mismo tiempo, eliminar cualquier barrera para encontrar trabajo”, dijo Dwayne Haywood, subdirector sénior del Departamento de Salud, Servicios Humanos, Administración y Estabilidad Económica de Michigan. “El empleo significa mejores oportunidades y permite que las personas a las que servimos tengan éxito y realicen sus sueños. MDHHS se complace en asociarse con el alcalde Duggan y la ciudad de Detroit en el Proyecto Jump Start porque es una excelente manera de eliminar las barreras del empleo. Mientras estos habitantes de Detroit aprenden habilidades laborales, el MDHHS se asegurará de que no sean sancionados por mejorar, brindándoles el acceso a los beneficios de asistencia pública de la red de seguridad”.
