Message from David Hollister,

President & CEO of the Prima Civitas Foundation

 

Through the Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) initiative, this website will connect the Mid-Michigan region by sharing information about the MMIT, including our partners, meetings and events, resources, newsletter and other pertinent publications. Being a member of the MMIT and part of the mid-Michigan region is all about connections.

Mid-Michigan's success as a region will depend on our ability to share information that allows us to develop partnerships and discover opportunities for growth. We're on an exciting path to transformation, and this is only the beginning.

Be sure to let us know your news, successes and activities so we can highlight and post them on the Web site. After all, we can't tell how far we've come unless we know where we've been, and we're counting on you to help us tell the story.

 

Our Mission

To renew mid-Michigan’s economic prosperity by reorienting and reinventing the region’s industrial base, developing next-generation talent and capitalizing on the region’s assets, partnerships and networks.

 

Our Vision

• Benefits the diverse communities across mid-Michigan’s 13 counties and fosters regional thought and action.
• Promotes existing and emerging assets in alternative fuels and energy, advanced manufacturing, health care, construction and entrepreneurship.
• Creates new business, better jobs, top-notch talent and a continuous demand for world-class economic, education and business support services.
• Is sustained over time, ensuring that mid-Michigan continues to thrive in the 21st century economy.

 

Our Goals

• Talent: Develop next-generation talent through business- and entrepreneurship-based learning opportunities for workers and students in current and emerging industries.
