Expansion Leads To More Training!

Memorial Healthcare, the largest employer in Shiawassee County, is expanding. This continued growth leads to increased hiring, which at times requires further training for these new team members. One of the training sources is the On-the-Job Training (OJT) using WIOA funds. During the 2023-24 fiscal year, Memorial used $10,418 to help five qualifying individuals increase their skill set through individualized training plans to better perform their new job. These positions included Dietary, Medical Office Administration, and Medical Assistant. The hospital is proud to partner with GST Michigan Works! to be able to offer this opportunity to their new employees. 

“Memorial’s participation in the OJT program has been very beneficial for the organization and for incoming new team members. The program has assisted incoming new hires to prepare for their new job by helping with the costs of taking on a new job. Additionally, the organization has benefitted by helping to offset some of the training costs for these individuals. The program has been an all-around positive and we look forward to continuing to participate in the future!” Doug Taylor, Director of Talent Management.
