Nine metro Detroit community colleges will share a $2.15 million federal grant to work together to help transform the state’s economy.
The U.S. Department of Labor gave the money to the consortium of colleges for work on advancing manufacturing and alternative energy through the development of core curriculum in “innovation education.”
The colleges sharing in the grant include: Henry Ford, Macomb, Monroe County, Mott, Oakland, St. Clair County, Schoolcraft, Wayne County and Washtenaw County.
Washtenaw Community College will use the money to develop a Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Entrepreneurship and will serve as fiduciary for the grant on behalf of the consortium.
