U.P. Employers are Hunting for Talented Job Seekers

Upper Peninsula of MI — Upper Peninsula Michigan Works! (UPMW) wants U.P. residents to send their resumes to job centers before traveling to deer camp.

Through a 15-day, concerted effort to place job seekers with employers, U.P. Michigan Works! is joining other Michigan Works! agencies throughout the state to combat the negative economic effects COVID-19 has placed on businesses.

UPMW is hosting a virtual “Resume Drive” from November 1st to November 15th to supply guidance and help to job seekers in the Upper Peninsula. When resumes are sent to a UPMW staff member, they will help job seekers refine their resumes and assist in securing meaningful employment.

Resumes can be e-mailed to resume@upmichiganworks.org or hand-delivered to a UPMW center. Call a local job center at 1-800-285-9675 or visit upmichiganworks.org for more information about locations and job seeker services.

Michigan Works! employment staff will provide job seekers with one-on-one guidance as they share their knowledge and experience regarding the job search process and how to craft the most effective resume.

UPMW, after refining a resume, will deliver it to local employers who are looking to hire talented job seekers. Between resume delivery and an interview, UPMW will provide targeted assistance in the form of coaching and interview preparation.

For more information about this event or other job seeker services, such as interview preparation and programmatic, eligibility-based funding, visit upmichiganworks.org or call 1-800-285-9675.

Medicaid in the Upper Peninsula

Navigating health coverage and work requirements can be confusing, so here’s a simple guide on how the program works and who fills what role:

Medicaid is a health care program funded by the state and federal government that provides health care services to eligible, low-income Michigan citizens, including adults, children, the elderly, pregnant woman, and some people with disabilities.

  • Upper Peninsula Health Plan (UPHP) is a managed care organization licensed by the State of Michigan to provide Medicaid medical services. UPHP helps eligible members access healthcare services, providers, care management, and member support after they are enrolled in Medicaid. They are the only organization of this kind in the Upper Peninsula. 
  • Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) administers Medicaid in Michigan, determines eligibility, manages enrollment through MI Bridges, and oversees Healthy Michigan Plan work requirement policies and exemptions.
  • Upper Peninsula Michigan Works! (UPMW) helps individuals connect with employment, education, training, and career services that may help them meet Healthy Michigan Plan work requirement activities and achieve their employment goals.
