Michigan's FY27 budget includes important investments in students such as expanded Michigan Reconnect and dedicated dual enrollment reimbursement.

#MIColleges are delivering. Now operational investment must keep pace with the growing expectations placed on our colleges.

[MCCA @MIColleges]

Michiganders who earn a community college certificate earn about $23,000 more on average per year than those with a high school diploma alone.

For many, community college is the #SmartestFirstStep #StrongestNextStep toward higher wages and opportunity.

Today’s Senate subcommittee budget rec takes important steps forward—but more work remains.

“The absence of a sustainable, ongoing investment in community college operations is deeply concerning.”

#MIColleges serve nearly 300,000 students each year.

[MCCA @MIColleges]

Michigan Reconnect creates a critical pathway for working adults and displaced workers.

Let's expand eligibility to Michiganders ages 21 and up to open the door to earlier access to skills and credentials.

Affordability matters for students and families.

When college is affordable, more students start and more finish. That strengthens Michigan’s talent pipeline and our state’s future.

#MIColleges serve students of every background but that work depends on stable state operations funding.

Reliable funding helps keep tuition affordable and respond to local workforce needs. Investing in colleges means investing in students, employers, and communities.

With @NinoSalvaggio opening a store on the campus of @schoolcraftnow, students in culinary arts, business, and supply chain management can gain hands-on experience.

Experiential learning like this connects students directly to careers.

Dual enrollment delivers: At @glen_oakscc, dual-enrolled students were 20 points more likely to complete a credential (46.1% vs. 26.3%).

59.1% of Hispanic/Latino DE students completed vs. 21.4% without DE. The data are clear.
