Check out the recording of the webinar where they shared about the career outlook for Transportation Engineers, Skilled Trades Opportunities and Careers and pathways through the MDOT Programs MDOT TRAC, MDOT Internship, MDOT TCCP and The Talent Pipeline Management Collaborative.- an employer-driven initiative focused on addressing Michigan's workforce challenges in the transportation and infrastructure sectors.
