SPARK has years of experience managing incentive programs and can save you time and identify your best state, regional, and local incentive opportunities.
Talent Services and Solutions
One reason to grow your business in Ann Arbor is its proximity to prestigious academic institutions, such as the University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University, and Washtenaw Community College. Consider SPARK your talent conduit — connecting you to a skilled and knowledgeable workforce. We target highly qualified candidates by promoting career opportunities posted in our job portal via our Job Seeker newsletter which reaches 8,000+ candidates monthly.
SPARK can also help you invest in your most valuable resource — your existing employees. The State of Michigan is committed to developing and retaining talent through programs such as the Going PRO Talent Fund. Let us help identify the best resources and funds available for your workforce development.
Finally, Ann Arbor SPARK hosts a number of talent awareness events, each one highlighting the vibrant tech community thriving in the region and connecting candidates directly with participating companies.
