RECORDED MINUTES

Welcome and introductions

Approval of minutes

Tom Crampton moved to approve the minutes, John Bierbusse seconded. All in favor. Minutes approved.

Fiduciary report

The budget reflects 1.5 years of WIN. Revenue is better than expected, and a budget modification will come to reflect new hires and other expenses. John Bierbusse moved to approve. Tom Crampton seconded. All in favor, fiduciary report approved.

Communications

Several proposals came in for the communications bids. Many were over budget, including WIN’s current vendor, IMG. Some of the proposals were under budget but did not include everything that WIN would need. Crain’s presented their proposal at the Board meeting. The new proposal would include changing the look and feel of WIN communications to align with the look of our Working Smarter report. The Win one-pager and infographic was presented to the Board for review.

Lisa has also done some outreach to make sure that all understand that the Community Colleges and Michigan Works! Agencies have a partnership and that WIN is not a separate entity. WIN also has several meetings scheduled with Kresge and Mott foundations. She also is reaching out to the National Skills Coalition, National Data Quality Campaign, the Department of Labor, and other national academic institutions.

Crain’s Communication Proposal – see presentation packet

Presenters: Marla Weiss, Mary Kramer, Dan Duggan

Objective: Connect more employers to WIN – to create a regional communications vehicle around talent that supports employer needs and creates robust pipelines of workers around the region’s economic growth opportunities

172,000 registered users + paid subscribers to print = 300,000 or more audience in SE MI

Strategy: • 40,000 subscribers to Crain’s e-newsletter; anchor spot on Crain’s Detroit Business Talent

Report to launch in the fall 2013 • Lisa is already blogging on Crain’s weekly (6,700 total click-throughs)

3

• Monthly analytics reports Deliverables:

• Crain’s custom content, bottom of weekly email – sponsored by • Monthly e-newsletter (4 stories – Dan single point of contact) • Page views on sponsored content, clicking through WIN newsletter, targeted data, open rates • Website hosting – landing within Crain’s Detroit – seamless transition

Promotional Plan: • Launch to 40,000 employers, job seekers, and workforce development professionals • Bonus distribution • 4 quarter page ads • Social media (Facebook -11,000 users)

Investment: $50,000 Items to consider: quarterly data reports – job demand, State of the Workforce Report, conferences (5,000 attendees over the course of a year) Discussion: The discussion included an exit strategy to depart from IMG. Sharon and Lisa will work together to come up with a strategy and also ask Crain’s to negotiate a possible contract extension. Communications committee will schedule a phone call to discuss the Crain’s proposal. Sharon Miller and Shamar Herron moved to negotiate a contract for $45,000, in an amount not to exceed $48,000. Michelle Mueller seconded. All in favor, motion approved. Regional reinvention

Speakers: Paul Tait, Executive Director SEMCOG, regional reinvention, regional prosperity; Kathleen Lomako, Deputy Executive Director, SEMCOG.

(Press release from Governor’s Office – see Board packet)

The Governor wants to bring 5 areas together for economic development that would include transportation, economic development, workforce development, adult education, and higher education. The new structure would have St. Clair with the I-69 corridor region. The original SEMCOG region, which largely overlaps with WIN (7 counties), would then gain 3 counties: Jackson, Hillsdale, and Lenawee.

WIN has scheduled a meeting with Hillsdale, Lenawee, and Jackson counties to see how WIN could work with region 9, and potentially to add the 3 counties to the data reports and user groups. There is a meeting soon regarding this. Action items: Reconvene the governance group-look at MOU to incorporate other institutions. Board expansion

Henry Ford Community College is interested in joining WIN, but the concern is about financial contribution. The Board suggested possibly doing a payment plan for a minimum of $7,500.

Action item: draft proposal to re-invite HFCC, meet with the CC Presidents before reaching out.

WIN growth strategies

WIN has a revenue goal of $700,000 a year. So far we have raised approximately $410,000, in addition to the $500,000 base grant from NEI for the year (above $900,000 raised).

• WIN has hired Gary Heitman on a contractual basis for MAGMA, IT, and managing cluster strategies.

• An offer has been made to Sarah Sebaly for the Project Manager, Strategic Pathways for the Kellogg grant.

Lisa would like to pursue hiring another person to assist in making projections, reports, etc. This person should be identified someone with a statistical analysis background. She would like to have the Board’s input before moving forward. Sharon suggested development of a document containing what is needed for staffing vs. what we are spending. This would include the sum total of all projects showing how each position is funded.

Michelle Mueller moved for WIN to forward with hiring, Robert Leadley seconded.

Sharon moved to support increase in budget for personnel approx. $85,000 (contingent upon availability of additional resources).

Policy committee

WIN would like to move forward with the legislative mailings signed by board member constituents. This mailing would provide information about WIN. Rebecca will send out the detailed information next week for the Board’s review.

Information technology

IT in the D has decided to move forward as the branding for the Tech Council, Detroitnet.org, and IT in the D externship program in order to promote the region as a technology hub.

Data committee

The 2nd Quarter reports are now available on the WIN website. The press release will come out next week.

Upcoming meeting

The next WIN Board meeting will take place on Friday, October 4, 2013.

Regional economic indicator dashboard Preliminary Outline and Metrics

Goal: A public dashboard of economic indicators1 focused on talent related issues for each local area and the region as a whole. The purpose of a dashboard is to:

• Create a baseline and track economic and educational trends in the region. • Inform grant makers, assist education providers in making investment decisions, provide easy to

use access to publicly available data • Identify indicators that are critical to our region’s economic success and to indicate if our region

is going in the “right” direction.

Differentiation in the market: There are no other Southeast Michigan economic dashboards related to talent. The WIN dashboard will also be different in that it will include a mix of indicators that are updated, monthly, quarterly, and annually, and include job posting data by unique clusters.

WIN has looked to the State of Michigan talent dashboards, as well as the west-Michigan’s Talent 2025 talent dashboard for inspiration on metrics. WIN also used practices from around the country to understand common metrics. SEMCOG tracks some general economic indicators at a regional level. WIN has a scheduled meeting with SEMCOG to partner with them on some of these measures. WIN also plans to engage others on the creation process including foundations, employers, community based organizations, economic developers, and Detroit Future City.

Limitations: The dashboard will include talent related economic indicators, not program level data. There are big-picture economic pressures in play and stakeholders have limited ability to move the indicators. The indicators may not reflect the positive activity that partners are working on.

Geography: TBD based on need and cost. Options include the following:

• A total of 11 geographies for each metric. Each WIN county, the city of Detroit, and the region as a whole.

1 Regional economic indicators— statistics that track a specific aspect of the regional economy. By themselves, indicators are not very useful; however, they are the building blocks to more useful tools. (See Erickcek et al. [2009].) Dashboards—a well-designed, easy-to-read layout of key indicators or composite of indicators that track the overall performance of the region and/or the organization’s efforts. It is important to imagine the construction of a car’s dashboard and not that of the cockpit in a plane, with its myriad of gauges and readouts. It should have a small number of community-wide indicators as well as program indicators. (See Eberts, Erickcek, and Kleinhenz [2006] and Erickcek [2007].)

• A total of 10 geographies for each metric. This is what we currently do with the quarterly reports, combining Shiawassee and Genesee.

• Explore the possibility of including the additional 3 counties in region 9 for a cost of $5,000 per county. This would add 4 additional geographies: Hillsdale, Jackson, Lenawee, and Region 9.

Toolbars and proposed metrics: 1. Profiles. A combination of metrics by geographic area. 2. Real-time job demand (burning glass and BLS)

a. Monthly time series (line graph) of number of job postings b. Monthly time series (line graph) of total employment and labor force participation

3. Quarterly indicators a. Top jobs (total and by cluster) b. Employment by educational level (table and stacked bar graph) c. Labor force participation by educational level (table and stacked bar graph) d. Employment by age and industry

4. Economic indicators a. Migration (statewide only?) b. Educational attainment levels c. Per capita income d. Gross domestic product

5. Talent pipeline a. College completion data

i. Certificates and degrees by type of institution (college, private or public university)

ii. Number of completions by educational categories (STEM, IT, Engineering, health care, etc.)

b. CTE enrollments by program and grade of student c. Apprenticeships

i. Number of apprenticeship completers (or enrollees) by sector ii. Number of apprenticeship programs

d. Internships i. Number of interns by sector

6. Methodology 7. “How to use this dashboard” (connection between talent issues and general economic

prosperity)

Additional functionality: • Data will be able to be exported into excel and in pdf forms. • Data and graphics for each metric. • Downloadable excel files and pdfs with data and graphics for each metric.

October 2013

Employer Strategies: Advanced Manufacturing Cluster Summary

A. AMJIAC INNOSTATE Grant • Thirty-three (33) companies presently in the NPCM cluster, fifty-six (56) prospects, some (TBD)

reserve adjunct companies.

• Site visits and vetting of prospective companies continues toward a cluster goal of about 100 companies.

• Contracts are being created between SEMCA and adjacent MWA’s to manage training funds, preferred college providers, and company participant records management.

• SEMWAC and individual MWA meetings are occurring to inform BSP’s/BSR’s what training services to offer, and to link together other training services [e.g. STTF] in a company portfolio of training.

• Follow-up communications have been sent to vetted companies outlining training opportunities and encouraging participation.

• Training discussions have begun with companies by MWA and InnoState representatives.

• First participants are expected to commence training in the fourth quarter in the areas of CNC Machining and CAD/CAM/CAE software.

B. MWA Skilled Trades Training Fund (STTF) Launch- Connection to WIN Adv. Mfg. Projects

• The State STTF program description was rolled out to MWA’s and other partners beginning September 19. Jim Lautenschleger (MWDA) provided an early program description to the MAGMA Board September 13.

• An overview promotion of STTF training opportunities was presented to InnoState cluster companies in a letter describing training options through the MWA’s.

C. MMA Member Meetings- “Mapping Your Mfg. Talent Blueprint”

• The September 30 pilot event was deferred to a later date due to low registrations. It is believed the cause was an overwhelming number of manufacturer events stacked in September-October.

• MMA leadership reinforced the desire to bring manufacturing companies together for talent planning.

• Planning of the pilot event will continue with MMA, WIN, and SEMCA-Detroit-Livingston-Washtenaw MWA’s.

D. K-12 STEM Initiatives Supporting Career Preparation Pathways to Adv. Mfg. and other fields:

• Michigan STEM Partnership Board: Participating with a reconfigured mix of education, industry and talent developers seeking to foster more youth and parent interest in STEM careers. New charter and governance under development.

• Promoting STEM month in October across all K-12 schools in Michigan with a “STEM and Me” poster/video contest with cash awards for top three winners within multiple age groups. Details available at http://mistempartnership.com.

09/28/13

• SER-Metro Detroit Bridge training program: Conducted a survey of fifteen companies on hiring qualification requirements for entry-level CNC machinists. Three companies committed to participate in curricula reviews and mock interviews of graduates.

• Promoting the Michigan Advanced Technology Training (MAT2) in mechatronics to companies seeking to establish apprenticeship programs.

E. Michigan Academy for Green Mobility Alliance (MAGMA)

• The first governing board meeting convened by WIN was a success. Marketing efforts, work plan priorities and a big advisory meeting/event for November are all in the planning stages.

• MAGMA was promoted at the annual Battery Show and first-ever Michigan Auto Summit in the past few weeks with new member applications and marketing material being distributed.

• A MAGMA value proposition was developed and marketed as members benefit from: • an understanding and awareness of market trends and processes in Green Mobility directly

from industry experts • the ability to influence and determine future education and training requirements • access to education and training resources (e.g. content, funding, etc.) • an awareness and promotion of Green Mobility jobs for current and future workers and

other industry stakeholders • networking opportunities with Green Mobility leaders across Michigan.

Information Technology Update October 2013

Technology Council

The Technology Council of Southeast Michigan has convened regularly every other month. The last meeting was held on July 21st at Crain Communications there were 38 members in attendance. Council members agreed on a regional branding concept and is moving forward with “IT in the D” as long as all the local partners agree to MOU terms The concept will encompass the Tech council, IT in the D externship, IT networking, radio/pod cast show, and other IT related programs to be marketed and work towards under a regional brand. The Marketing & Outreach and Talent committees have been formed based on outcomes from an earlier goal identifying activity. Both of these committees have convened and are moving forward with actions. The Marketing & Outreach committee plans to launch the regional brand to the public in early December 2013. One of the goals of the regional branding is attraction of talent and business. Next Council meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 16, 2013 and will be hosted by Wayne County EDGE at the Guardian Building from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. Lunch and networking to follow, for more information please contact: techcouncil@win-semich.org.

IT in the D

The IT in the D externship program is going through some extensive changes before the next cohort. The stakeholders have agreed to incorporate the Detroit Education Alignment (DEA) concept and schedule a pilot. The program will work more closely with one or two educational institute to identify candidates that have accomplished the basic skills prior to entering into the externship.

Technology Cluster Support Team

A draft document that outlines the Technology Cluster Support Team has been prepared. The document states need, purpose, proposed activities, desired outcomes, and roles. David Shevrin and Kristie will work on finalizing the document so the cluster team approach can move forward. Technology Cluster will serve as a pilot and hopeful grow to include other cluster work.

If you have any questions feel free to contact Kristie Kabacinski (586) 783-1399 or (586) 419-6856.

Health Care Cluster Strategy The next healthcare HR executives meeting is scheduled for October 24th. An executive summary describing the proposed healthcare workforce database will be presented for approval. An RFP has been developed for the healthcare database and was distributed on Wednesday, October 2nd. Proposals are due October 16, 2013. A meeting of the health systems and Michigan Works representatives was held September 24th to discuss the State of Michigan Skilled Trades Training Fund and the potential to apply for these funds for ICD-10 related training. The health systems decided that applying for this training fund as a region was not feasible due to the short time frame for applications and the varied progress of contracting for ICD-10 training but several indicated that they would be interested in applying as individual health systems. Connections to Michigan Works! Agencies were made during the meeting to support the health systems application process. Benefits of the Michigan Works! agencies beyond the training fund were also discussed. The healthcare talent partners developed a value proposition for the health systems regarding ICD-10 training that was delivered at the September 24th meeting. The community colleges agreed to initiate the creation of a common curriculum for ICD-10 training across the region. This idea was presented to the health system representatives, who seemed receptive to this possibility and agreed to assist with providing input regarding this curriculum. A meeting to connect the health systems and the community colleges is currently in the planning phases. WIN Healthcare Cluster Contact: Tricia Walding-Smith Project Manager, Research and Policy Office: 313.744.3419 Cell: 734.552.6710 tricia.walding-smith@win-semich.org Career and Business Services Learning Networks: A Business Services Learning Network meeting is scheduled for October 7th, covering regional projects that can benefit business partners. This includes presentations covering the Innostate project, MAT2, Michigan New Jobs Training Program, State of Michigan’s Skilled Trades Training Fund, and the AESSI grant. The final learning networks meeting of 2013 is slated for mid-November and will include both career and business services. This meeting will feature a speed networking session covering 5-6 topics. The agendas for next year’s career and business services learning networks are in progress. Next year’s meetings will revolve around the theme of career readiness. WIN is considering combining the career and business services groups for these sessions, allowing career services to learn about the reactions of

employers through business services staff and allowing business services to have insight and input regarding the methods used to prepare jobseekers before they approach an employer.

WIN Policy Update – October 2013

1. The policy committee is scheduled to meet next on October 8, 2013.

Policy framework:

2. WIN continues to craft a policy agenda around career awareness. WIN met with the Data Quality Campaign and is scheduled to meet with NAWB.

3. WIN met with the Chicago Cook County Workforce Partnership. They are the poster child for successful consolidation. They have several initiatives that are similar to WIN around the use of labor market information and working with colleges in the area.

4. WIN continues to work with the Detroit Jobs Alliance, participates on the DJA steering committee, and meets regularly with DJA leadership to align efforts.

Data useful for policy:

5. WIN created and sent regional and county commuting data (labor shed)to stakeholders and legislators. This data assists WIN with regionalism efforts.

6. WIN met with the State of Michigan Labor Market Information office to see if there is alignment on any data projects. WIN sent a list of potential areas for improvement on the Talent Connect report site.

Institutional policy and process improvement:

7. A Business Services Learning Network meeting is scheduled for October 7th, covering regional projects that can benefit business partners. This includes presentations covering the Innostate project, MAT2, Michigan New Jobs Training Program, State of Michigan’s Skilled Trades Training Fund, and the AESSI grant.

a. The final learning networks meeting of 2013 is slated for mid-November and will include both career and business services. This meeting will feature a speed networking session covering 5-6 topics.

b. The agendas for next year’s career and business services learning networks are in progress. Next year’s meetings will revolve around the theme of career readiness. WIN is considering combining the career and business services groups for these sessions, allowing career services to learn about the reactions of employers through business services staff and allowing business services to have insight and input regarding the methods used to prepare jobseekers before they approach an employer.

8. The goal of the Data Users Learning Network is to increase the use of new data tools within WIN board organizations through building analysis skills and sharing best practices in a regional learning network setting. This group has reviewed best practices in the region around data and provided feedback on a regional dashboard of economic indicators.The next meeting will occur in early November.

9. The State’s evaluation of the Talent Connect system is well under way and drawing to a close. They are currently behind schedule do to several factors, including coordinating meetings with large attendees, and coordinating discussions with other states. WIN should receive final documents in early September. Next steps and WIN strategy will be determined once the evaluation is complete.

WIN Data Update- October 2013

1. WIN started work on the Q3 reports this week. They should be completed in the next couple of weeks.

2. WIN started working with the Ross School of Business to design a return on investment study for the talent system. This will put a dollar figure on the investments made into the talent system, and the economic returns. This project will finish in November 2013.

3. WIN is finalizing a network survey, which is the basis for a Social Network Analysis (SNA) of talent stakeholders. The SNA will visually map and analyze the network of training providers in the region, including those who already work with one another, and assess gaps around specific topics or clusters (i.e. skilled trades, youth, IT, health care). The survey is scheduled to be deployed 10/7/13.

4. WIN has co-developed a proposal for a national study of real time LMI with the CUNY LMI office. WIN is in the process of gaining support for the study and exploring other partners. The Chicago Workforce Partnership, Upjohn, and Indiana University are all possibilities. WIN is also starting to work on its own mini-study.

5. WIN has started work on a disruptor’s survey, which will be part of a larger event in early 2014. Survey is currently being developed borrowing from the McKinsey Global Institute and the Economist Intelligence Unit who have both surveyed employers on this topic in the past 2-3 years. We expect to receive a proposal from the Survey Science Group on helping us with the survey methodology and survey instrument. We hope to have a pilot survey out in November, finalize the survey in December, and launch the official survey in January. We will be working with Crain’s Detroit to survey their reader base. Once the results are in (likely February) we will analyze the findings and combine those with other research in the field to create a full-scale report to release at an event with Crain’s in the spring.

6. WIN is revamping all employer surveys so that a single consistent tool will gather information from employers one time a year regarding skills and hiring demands. This will be vetted with the data users group in November.

7. WIN is currently developing a regional dashboard of economic indicators. A sample list of indicators will be presented at the October board meeting.

8. WIN has signed a contract and started work to produce quarterly data and help increase the capacity of data users in the remaining 3 counties of region 9 (Hillsdale, Jackson, Lenawee). WIN presented data and information at a recent event to economic developers, businesses, and education providers.

9. WIN started the process for empirically mapping career pathways, and is exploring data partnerships to attain and analyze resume data.

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS & SUPPLIERS

What is green mobility and why is it important?  Green mobility refers to the various products and processes required to make vehicle, transporta on, and other related systems more efficient and eco‐friendly.  Green mobility will require the crea on, adop on, and integra‐on of new technologies, for example, lightweigh ng for greater fuel economy and safety, and alterna ve energy 

storage. Many companies are successfully naviga ng these impending changes. Suppor ng them and encourag‐ing others to follow suit will mean good news for the region’s economy. At the same  me, tens of thousands of jobs in tradi onal metal stamping, cas ng, plas c parts, and other manufacturing could be displaced—and those jobs lost—if manufacturing firms fail to adapt to the using advanced materials, processes, and technologies and if workers do not know how to apply them.  

How can I learn more?  MAGMA is convened by the Workforce Intelligence Network for Southeast Michigan, a partnership of 7 Michigan Works! Agencies and 8 community colleges in Southeast Michigan.  Funded by the New Economy Ini a ve, WIN’s mission is to help employers find the talent they need for success.  For more informa on about MAGMA, visit www.migreenmobility.com or contact Gary Heitman (info@win‐semich.org).  

I N T E G R A T E D P R O J E C T & O B J E C T I V E S InnoState will start with a set of 112 identified Innovation Realization

firms: companies with a track record or strong interest in doing

manufacturing for customers who are new product developers.

Continuing to expand the list of known companies, InnoState will convene

them as an explicit cluster, and explore their connections to product

developers and modeling/ optimization tool providers. Next InnoState will

draw more companies out of traditional manufacturing by illustrating the

payoff to Cluster participation, including access to research on dozens of

niche markets; new modeling tools to evaluate designs; structured

opportunities with customers in new industries; and help training CNC

operators and programmers. Finally, InnoState will evaluate the leaders

and managers of interested Michigan manufacturers, and then provide

assistance services to prepare them for the more complex, but more

rewarding, role of making new products rather than old parts.

M E A S U R I N G S U C C E S S Success will be measured in the increase in the proportion of cluster

members’ sales that come from making new products. Over the three

years of the project, Cluster members are forecast to realize at least $20

million in new orders. That will translate into 240 additional direct and

indirect jobs and $9.6 million in additional payroll. Taxes on those

additional earnings will exceed $2.4 million, including $1.9 million in

additional federal receipts, thus paying back the federal investment from

the grant. Most important, it will add a qualitatively new capacity in the

region’s economy to translate innovation into products for export to the

nation and world.

I N N O VAT I O N R E A L I Z AT I O N : BUILDING AND SUPPORTING AN ADVANCED CONTRACT MANUFACTURING INNOVATION CLUSTER IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN

InnoState seeks to supplement the region’s

traditional parts-making economy with a fast-

growing community of firms pursuing a

different business model. InnoState is

comprised of regional organizations well-

positioned to support the cluster’s development

and growth, including the Workforce

Intelligence Network (WIN), Detroit Regional

Chamber, the Michigan Manufacturing

Technology Center (MMTC) and the National

Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS).

F I V E S C O P E S O F W O R K EDA funds will support convening and adding to the Cluster, identifying its members’ capabilities, developing plans and follow-up actions to enhance those capabilities, and structured opportunities for qualified Cluster firms to quote work with new customers. This work will be done by WIN, the Detroit Regional Chamber and the MMTC.

Employment and Training funds will address talent shortfalls in the Cluster by challenging the region’s community colleges to rapidly train or otherwise connect Cluster firms to qualified CNC operators, programmers, technicians, and engineers that are in low supply. This work will be led by WIN.

Small Business Administration funds will increase the weight of startup and minority-owned companies in the Cluster, through business incubation and capital access assistance. This work will be led by the Detroit Regional Chamber, and will include BANSEM and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

Department of Energy funds will provide Cluster members – both design houses and manufacturers – with access to digital modeling tools to optimize designs, particularly in cases in which reducing weight through increased use of advanced composite materials is critical to customer applications. This work will be led by NCMS and include General Electric. NIST/MEP will fund the delivery of customized market research, marketing, and sales training and mentoring to18-36 cluster members to help them identify and prioritize prospective markets and customers, win quotes with those customers, and launch new-design products fast. This work will be led by the MMTC.

T H E W O R K F O R C E I N T E L L I G E N C E N E T W O R K ( W I N ) WIN is a southeast Michigan collaborative effort between eight community colleges, seven workforce

boards and economic development partners to create a comprehensive and cohesive workforce

development system in Southeast Michigan that provides employers with the talent they need for

success. WIN’s goals are to (1) provide current and actionable labor market intelligence to allow for

greater regional talent system effectiveness; (2) strengthen and sustain an employer-driven talent

system that serves as a resource hub and connection point for regional businesses, industries, and

other stakeholders. (3) Improve institutional, local, state, and federal talent development policy

through research, thought leadership, and innovative practice. WIN covers a 9-county area in

Southeast Michigan, including Genesee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, Shiawassee, St. Clair,

Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties. WIN is funded through a grant from the New Economy Initiative.

D E T R O I T R E G I O N A L C H A M B E R With over 20,000 members and affiliates, which employ over three-quarters of a million workers, the

Detroit Regional Chamber is one of the largest chambers of commerce in the country. The Chamber’s

mission of powering the economy for Southeast Michigan is supported by a focus on four key pillars:

economic development, regional collaboration, education reform and membership value. Working

with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and other stakeholders, the Chamber’s

economic development programs made more than $200 million in bid opportunities available to

Michigan suppliers. The Chamber’s involvement with InnoState will continue this work uncovering

and developing procurement and research and development opportunities that diversify the

customer bases of Michigan companies.

T H E M I C H I G A N M A N U F A C T U R I N G T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R ( M M T C ) MMTC is an affiliate of the NIST Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) program.

MMTC’s focus is on business development, cost reduction, and quality improvement in manufacturing

companies with fewer than 500 employees, with an emphasis on those with 20-249 – large enough to

need effective, repeatable processes but too small to be served by the for-profit consulting sector.

Each year, MMTC helps 200-300 Michigan manufacturers through training, consulting, and

management mentoring. The MMTC is funded by NIST and the MEDC.

T H E N A T I O N A L C E N T E R F O R M A N U F A C T U R I N G S C I E N C E S ( N C M S ) NCMS fuels innovative solutions for manufacturers. A nonprofit, member-based consortium, the

organization’s objective is to drive innovation in manufacturing through collaboration and advanced

technologies. NCMS stands shoulder to shoulder with North American companies who are in the

business of making things and believes that manufacturing is still a valuable sector in which to invest.

NCMS has identified digital manufacturing , the intensified application of manufacturing intelligence

using advanced data analytics and modeling & simulation, as one of the key innovations that will drive

North American manufacturing competitiveness in the 21st century. To this end, they have recently

launched a series of centers to democratize access to these game-changing tools for small and

medium sized manufacturers, revitalizing the way America builds.
