Wayne Partnership Workgroups

Beginning in 2026, the Wayne County Partnership Workgroup model will align with a Cradle-to-Career (and beyond) framework.


This updated structure brings all Workgroups, along with two existing support groups, together under a unified model to strengthen collaboration and keep work moving forward.

By joining a Workgroup, you commit to attending meetings and contributing to the initiatives the group undertakes. Participation may be short-term or ongoing, depending on your availability. To maintain focus and impact, participants are encouraged to join one Workgroup.

Workgroups are open to all. You do not need to be an Agency Representative or employed by a Partner organization to participate. Diverse perspectives and expertise are welcome.

Additional details about each Workgroup will be shared as groups establish priorities over the coming months.
