How Customized works in Michigan
Employer-designed training projects co-funded by state workforce dollars when the curriculum is specific to the employer's needs. In Michigan, eligibility is determined by Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity — Going PRO and the local workforce board for your worksite. Project-based, usually 6 to 12 months is the usual structure.
Key rules and gates
1. Curriculum must be employer-designed (off-the-shelf does not qualify) 2. Employer cost-share is typically required (25%+) 3. Training must directly relate to current or anticipated job duties
Tracked Customized programs in Michigan
• Michigan New Jobs Training Program (MNJTP) — FREE customized training for employers creating new jobs. Funded by state income tax capture on new employees. No cost to employer if job/wage targets met. • Michigan WIOA Customized Training — Employer-specific training with tiered cost-share (same as IWT)
Most common Customized denial reasons
DEN-013 — Same training period or costs claimed under multiple programs (non-duplication violation). Fix: Verify no overlapping date ranges for same trainee under different programs. If stacking intended, ensure different training activities and different cost bases. Sequence programs to avoid date overlap. Use the scanner above to see whether your Michigan worksite qualifies for Customized right now, and what the estimated recoverable amount is for your industry and headcount. If you are already running training that could qualify retroactively, most Michigan boards still accept claims within their submission window even if you did not pre-enroll, with one exception: OJT requires the agreement to be signed BEFORE training begins, full stop. Reimbursa charges nothing for the scan. We make money when you do — a base certification fee at claim filing plus a small success fee on board approval. The first audit fee is paid once and unlocks recurring monthly value, because every change to a workforce-board rules pack flows back into your preflight checklist automatically. That is what compounds: a one-time setup that catches every future denial in the same class before submission, across every program you participate in, every year the rules change.
