Colleges and Universities: Accredited Career Training

Published: November, 2010

Michigan is home to two of the nation's fastest-growing tech companies, as determined by CNN Money magazine. Rofin-Sinar Technologies, located in Plymouth, MI, manufactures microlasers to cut and shape surgical instruments, while Farmington Hills-based Covansys provides specialized business services with industry-specific goals. The IT industry is expected to grow nationwide and locally in Michigan, where Salary.com reports that computer hardware engineers in Detroit earn entry-level wages at $59,100 on average.

Auto makers, chemical companies, and manufacturers make up much of Michigan's big business. Among the Fortune 500 companies in the state:
  • General Motors
  • Ford Motor
  • Dow Chemical
  • Whirlpool

Workers in the manufacturing industry can choose to combine their existing skills with management career training, possibly leading to an MBA. Assembly supervisors earn $66,400 on average, while manufacturing managers in Detroit earn about $114,300. While no MBA program can guarantee a salary or career, education is a critical component of a management resume.

The state's workforce of 4.7 million is primarily employed in the trade, transportation, and utilities industry, although manufacturing and government work play a large part in Michigan's employment picture. In May 2007, Michigan's statewide unemployment rate was higher than the national average, meaning that job opportunities may be more difficult to find for workers without career training.
