Nearly 100 Michigan Works! members learned about the Recovery Act/Trade Adjustment Assistance Act (TAA) at a joint workshop hosted May 25 by Michigan Works! Association and the Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth Bureau of Workforce Transformation.
TAA provides funding for states to assist workers who lose their jobs due to outsourcing and foreign trade. The training covered the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC), field review and monitoring visits, training waivers, training policies and trade readjustment allowances.
In addition to learning about policy developments, attendees shared challenges, improvements and best practices from around the state.
Two additional workshops will provide ongoing TAA training for staff at the 2010 Michigan Works! for People Conference, Sept. 19-22 in Traverse City, Mich (register at http://www.michiganworksconference.org)/.
Job seekers interested in learning more about the TAA program are encouraged to contact their local Michigan Works! service center. To find a service center, visit: http://www.michiganworks.org/.
