"Teaching is such a rewarding career. Talent Together is a great way to support teaching candidates from all walks of life - especially our community members of color - to lead our next generation of students."

"Talent Together was designed for aspiring teachers from all kinds of Michigan communities, including those who live in the Upper Peninsula, like me. If you live in a rural or remote area and want to become an educator, Talent Together just might be the right opportunity for you."

"As a special educator, I know there are fantastic people in our community who, with an opportunity like Talent Together, will become the kinds of teachers our students with special needs deserve."

"Talent Together brings real-world expertise and training (at no cost!) to teacher candidates, allowing so many more people to not just become a teacher, but a great one. This is a game-changer for our community, our schools, and most importantly, our students."

"Right now, it could not be more important to remove barriers to the teaching profession. This initiative is an example of our great state coming together to prepare future teachers in innovative ways.”
