Specifically, the bill changes the minimum age for program participants from 25 to 21 years old. The Michigan Reconnect program is designed to provide last-dollar financial assistance to adult learners seeking associate degrees or industry-recognized certificates and credentials. The program aims to help individuals acquire education and skills needed to succeed in an evolving economy, address educational equity gaps, and contribute to the state's goal of increasing the number of residents ages 25 to 64 with a college degree or skill certificate to 60% by 2030.
