ROSCOMMON- State leaders recognized the economic achievements of Michigan businesses and their employees at the Michigan Works! Impact Awards at the Michigan Capitol.
The Impact Awards, held April 17, celebrated the economic impact of newly created jobs, transformational training, and effective talent pipeline development within our communities. Honorees from across the state received awards highlighted by their local lawmakers and state workforce development officials.
Among the Northern Michigan honorees included Roscommon County Road Commission in Prudenville, as well as Lou Tomma, one of their former Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) apprentices.
Michigan Works! Region 7B Consortium nominated the Roscommon County Road Commission for their Summer Apprentice Program that made it possible for apprentices to work on road projects throughout the area, learning valuable skills they can use throughout their career.
When it comes to increasing the talent pool in road construction, Roscommon County Road Commission stands out as a shining example of partnering to ensure that those entering the field have the opportunity to receive real-world, on-the-job experience.
