We offer a variety of trainings in areas that include safety, manufacturing, and health care.
Area businesses can work cooperatively with Mid Michigan College to become intern or apprentice placement sites, adding talented Mid students to their staff. Not only do our students benefit from the rich experiential learning that happens on the job, but employers benefit from gaining an extra set of hands and the ability to shape their future talent pools.
Area businesses seeking business planning and expansion assistance, marketing solutions, etc, can receive assistance through the Small Business Development Center (SBDC).
