Founded in 2010, Northern Transformation is a nonprofit partner of the Michigan Works! Region 7B Consortium. Region 7B has been engaging employers and job seekers since 1978 serving the six lower counties of Northeast Michigan.
Northern Transformation's reach goes beyond the 6 counties that make up Region 7B to cover all 14 counties of Northeast Michigan.
Why it matters
The three lower counties of Northeast Michigan mark the official start of "Up North". Our region from this point north is distinct in character, economies and make-up.
The Northeast has natural attributes of open green and blue space that are unmatched. The long term health and sustainability of our region is stronger with all 14 counties working together.
Our Mission
Northern Transformation Corporation, a 501c(3), will develop and nurture quality partnerships in the areas of economic development, entrepreneurship, education/training and employment/workforce development to enhance the Quality of Life for residents and businesses in our targeted communities.
