6. What is the purpose and how does the legislatively directed spending item provide a public benefit that is an appropriate use of taxpayer money?

LIUNA Training of Michigan (LTM) requests $2,000,000 to construct a new training center that will feature two fully equipped classrooms, smart technology, and a modern learning environment designed for hands-on safety instruction. This center will reduce training barriers, enhance public safety, and support a stronger, safer Michigan workforce. LTM's training system is a registered apprenticeship program with the U.S. Department of Labor, ensuring that our graduates go through a rigorous training program. LTM is open to all who wish to learn the construction trade, and representatives of LTM participate in roughly 100 outreach events to various communities across the state. There is no cost of attending trainings from LTM after becoming a member of the LiUNA, and LTM regularly offers stipends to students so they can earn while they learn. This grant would further the stated goals of state legislative and executive leadership of expanded workforce development in Michigan. To continue to meet the demands for a skilled workforce on major projects such as the restart of the Palisades Nuclear Generating Station, LTM's operations need to expand. Senate District 19 has a strong history in the skilled trades. With increasing demand in the labor workforce, new graduates and young professionals in my district continue to be incentivized to pursue a career in the trades. The expansion of LTM will provide further opportunities for my constituents to join our state's critical construction workforce.
