The Employer Talent Pipeline
The Employer Talent Pipeline(ETP) emerged from coordinated efforts by regional STEM networks at Delta College and Mid Michigan College. The key outcomes include creating more partnerships for students to get on-the-job experience with local employers through internship, co-op and other experiential learning opportunities and working with employers to support continuous demand forecasting to training providers.

The Employer Talent Pipeline activities are now supported by an Employer Talent Pipeline lead, Carol McCaul and the Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance staff. Carol can be accessed at the contact information below. She assists both educators and businesses in making connections to improve work-based learning. Another aspect of the work is to educate students about high-demand, high-wage positions that can improve both quality of life and the economy.
