Gov. Whitmer Launches "Opening Week' of Michigan Reconnect Expansion, Adults Ages 21 and Over Eligible for Tuition-Free Community College
Press Release
Issues: Higher Education
"By temporarily lowering the age for Michigan Reconnect from 25 to 21, we're opening doors of opportunity for up to 350,000 more Michiganders earn a tuition-free associates degree or skills certificate. This expansion will help us reach our Sixty by 30 goal--to have 60% of adults earn a postsecondary education or training by 2030--and build on our economic momentum. With low unemployment, growing advanced manufacturing industries, and strong small business growth, we need to expand Reconnect to bolster our pipeline for talented workers. Together, we can help more young Michiganders "make it' in Michigan and build a brighter, more prosperous future for families and businesses."
