If you have a disability or health condition that affects your ability to work, MRS may fund your entire training. This state agency is dedicated to helping people with disabilities gain employment — and healthcare is one of the most in-demand fields.

Path Program

Are you a cash assistance recipient? Great — we're an approved training provider, which means your DHS case worker can refer you to the Path program. Ask your case worker about Path and they will direct you to the correct Detroit at Work or Michigan Work office.
