Skills Programming
Michigan Central is not only about bringing tech innovators to Detroit, it’s about building up the talent that is already here in Detroit. Through training programs, we will equip Detroiters with the skills they need to land these in-demand jobs and help address the chronic issue of the underrepresentation of women and people of color in tech. Below, you can learn about our current talent programs. Check back often for new offerings that will become available throughout the year.
Interested Detroit residents may visit Detroit at Work to schedule an appointment with their career centers or call (313) 962-9675 to schedule an appointment.
Code Next Detroit
The first partnership milestone between Michigan Central and Google is underway. Google’s Code Next Detroit at Michigan Central aims to train the next generation of Michigan entrepreneurs by providing a space where high schoolers will learn coding and other technical skills. This initiative is in support of Michigan Central’s approach to develop today’s and the next generation’s “skills at the seams” – which is the combination of technical and innovation capabilities.
The 2023-2024 application will open on July 10 and close on August 4.
