MiBrightFuture is real-world career development, providing direct links between students and employers: powered by technology, advanced through partnership. Proactive companies can use MI Bright Future to connect with tomorrow’s brightest talent. Through an easy-to-use online interface, students and teachers can reach companies on a platform they are already using for career development to make them aware not only of careers and industries, but also of many types of activities that can influence their future path, including company tours, job shadows and internships.
The Livingston Career and College Access Network (LCCAN) has been a leader in the implementation of this online, interactive tool, connecting students with employers through message boards and work based learning experiences. As a result, teachers, students and employers have built relationships that have resulted in online discussions, job shadowing, internships, and summer part-time employment. These connections will open the lines of communication between K-12 and employers, in the hope of providing contextualized education for students and keeping local talent local.
