Your Membership Team has been busy this summer building relationships, connecting with workforce leaders, and welcoming new organizations into the Midwest Urban Strategies community. We are excited to celebrate the continued growth of our network.
Our current numbers:
As of July, MUS proudly includes:
- 11 Founding Member Workforce Development Boards
- 4 Regular Member Workforce Development Boards
- 19 Affiliate Member Organizations, including 5 Workforce Development Boards serving rural communities and regions outside U.S. Department of Labor Region
Together, these 34 organizations bring diverse perspectives, expertise, resources, and promising practices to our growing workforce ecosystem
Please Welcome Our Newest Members!
The Calumet Area Industrial Commission (CAIC) supports industrial growth across metropolitan Chicago and Northwest Indiana through business development, workforce training, apprenticeships, and employer engagement. CAIC brings valuable expertise in manufacturing workforce development and regional economic growth to the MUS network.
Focus: HOPE has empowered Detroit communities for more than 50 years through education, workforce development, career training, and apprenticeship opportunities. We are proud to welcome Focus: HOPE and the decades of experience they bring in advancing economic mobility and building strong workforce pathways.
To our newest members, welcome! We are excited to have you at the table as we learn together, share promising practices, address emerging challenges, and strengthen the workforce ecosystem across the Midwest and beyond.
To our long-standing members, thank you. Your continued leadership, engagement, and willingness to support one another are what make MUS such a vibrant and trusted community.
Our membership continues to grow because workforce leaders recognize that the challenges and opportunities facing our field are too significant to navigate alone.
Together, we are building connections, sharing innovation, expanding possibilities, and strengthening communities, one relationship at a time.
Do you know an organization that should be part of the MUS network? Please connect them with the Membership Team. Our table is growing, and there is always room for organizations committed to advancing workforce development and creating stronger communities.
