The Detroit Regional Chamber is inviting organizations across the Detroit Region to sign up to host a Detroit Reconnect Café this summer — a low‑lift, high‑impact way to support employees as they explore education and training options that strengthen your talent pipeline.
Why Participate?
Employers are navigating real workforce challenges, including retention, upskilling, and filling hard‑to‑hire roles. At the same time, employees are interested in advancing their skills but aren’t sure where to start.
Detroit Reconnect helps working adults take the next step toward earning a credential while navigating financial aid opportunities that can significantly reduce costs for both employers and employees.
What Is a Detroit Reconnect Café?
A Detroit Reconnect Café brings personalized support directly to your workplace through an informal, on‑site, drop-in model.
During the session, a Detroit Reconnect coach, along with a Michigan Reconnect Navigator when available, will meet with interested employees to:
- Explore education and career goals
- Navigate funding options, including Michigan Reconnect
- Understand program and credential pathways
- Connect to community resources that support work, life, and school balance
How to Get Started
- Select a date, time, and semi‑private space at your organization here.
- Promote the opportunity to your employees once your session is confirmed.
What the Chamber Provides
- Full logistics and coordination
- Refreshments
- A dedicated four‑hour support window
- 100% free services for organizations and their employees
