All-Staff History
This is shown at every All-Staff event (sometimes with music) to help staff become familiar with those from other offices and sub-regions.
What is the Employee Introductions PowerPoint?
What do we call it when we successfully match a job seeker with a job opening? This phrase was coined via a naming contest on SharePoint.
What is a Winning Link?
We partnered with this Colorado based agency when we began a concentrated effort to promote apprenticeships.
What is Careerwise? (or Careerwise UP)
These are the three Michigan Works! agencies that existed in the U.P. before we consolidated to one entity. Brownie points if you can state the date of consolidation!
What is Western UP Manpower (or Western UP Alliance shortly before the consolidation), the Eastern UP Employment & Training Consortium, and the Six County Employment Alliance or The Job Force Board? We consolidated on October 1st, 2015
As of December of 2024, this is the most common DISC profile for staff.
What is C (conscientious)?
Regular staff training is important! This bygone virtual training series focused on topics specifically for Talent Services.
What are Talent Forums?
We are one of these but don't get your acronyms confused. Adding an A makes it something else!
What are Michigan Works! Agencies?
These were announced and presented by our previous CEO at an All-Staff in 2019 and we rolled out an award based on them at the All-Staff in 2020.
What are Teamwork, Innovation, Empowerment, Intentionality, Integrity, and Outcome-Driven (our core values)?
Before our current structure was established, this was the Communications Department's avenue to share organizational and departmental information internally.
What is "The Weekly UPdate?"
These two employers were spotlighted during a virtual All-Staff training in 2021. Recordings still exist on SharePoint if you know where to look!
Who are UP Paper and CCI Systems?
