| Governor Granholm has made job creation, economic diversification, and worker training the cornerstones of her administration, and Recovery Act programs will allow us to enhance our efforts on each of these fronts. The No Worker Left Behind initiative has already trained more than 61,000 Michigan workers for jobs in high wage and emerging industries. The additional job training dollars in the Recovery Act will give Michigan the resources to prepare many more of our workers for 21st century careers. |
