The initial project this PM will take on is for Michigan Rehabilitation Services (LEO-MRS). This project requires a PM to oversee an enhancement project that involves major changes to their existing Michigan Business Resource System (MiBRS). This effort will provide Agency staff the ability to more effectively and efficiently serve both client-customers and business customers through reduction of direct and indirect costs, enhanced tracking and reporting of grant applications and awards, and meeting federal, state and department performance objectives. The collection, organization, and ability to search information contained in the system provides for a more coordinated effort in the business community. Additionally, it positions the agency to help the department better achieve performance metrics and objectives, such as 60×30, by connecting talent with training, apprenticeships, career discovery, work-based learning experiences, and job opportunities that meet specific customer qualifications and business needs. This application provides the opportunity for more coordinated services with WIOA core and other strategic partners. By doing so, E&T can create, sustain, and grow long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with the business community. Additionally, the information in the system directly benefits counselors and client-customers in reducing and eliminating employment barriers, expanding career exploration opportunities, and more readily connecting with businesses to obtain employment.
Additional project deployments are pending availability of funding and will include implementation of the Attorney General’s Address Confidentiality Program Act (ACPA), which involves the creation of an online system that survivors of crime can use to keep their personal information secure, in addition to MSHDA’s Mortgage Refinancing project.
