Yesterday we had the honor of joining U.S. Secretary of Education, Dr. Miguel Cardona at Glencairn Elementary School in East Lansing. We’re thrilled that the Secretary took the time to hear from our apprentice teachers, present, past and future. MI Talent Together is producing nation-leading outcomes, including a 94% retention rate after one year. A big thank you to all the ISD Superintendents, Legislators, and Department of Labor – among so many others – who made this possible!
