Financial challenges at Detroit's workforce agency
Description
The Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation is the city’s workforce agency, connecting residents to jobs, training and other opportunities.
It was created by Mayor Mike Duggan’s administration in 2012 and it’s also run by the mayor’s office.
Mayor elect Mary Sheffield will soon be sworn in. Changes to the Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation could be on the way. The agency was also doing a lot of work with funds from the American Rescue Plan Act, and they’re drying up.
At the Nov. 3 meeting, the agency discussed how they’ll navigate their finances while exploring different funding options. Producer Jack Filbrandt spoke with Detroit Documenters Jasmine Kaltenbach and Noah Kincade to learn more about the Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation.
