Michigan business, law enforcement and educational leaders are calling for more support for community college students.
It comes on the heels of a new state report highlighting financial goals and challenges of preparing students for the workforce.
Local officials focused on the topic and report at a Wednesday press conference at Grand Rapids Community College.
They say educational programs like workforce training and dual-enrollment can help address a statewide 'skills gap' - and will benefit students as they prepare for their careers.
