June 26, 2026

The Detroit Regional Chamber is inviting organizations across the Detroit Region to sign up to host a Detroit Reconnect Café this summer — a lowlift, highimpact 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 hardtohire 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.

  • 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
