seeing cutting-edge technology at work. Opportunities like these show our students how impactful the skills they\u2019re building in our programs can be.\u201d &#8211; Richard Grundy, CEO and Co-founder of JOURNi<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"1611\">Some highlights include various drone activities, Newlab Detroit tours and founder meetups, tours of The Station and workshops on the youth floor. By working closely with these organizations, we were able to tailor and deliver experiences with the goal of growing Detroit\u2019s talent pipeline.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"1903\">In addition, it also furthered the advancement of Michigan Central\u2019s ecosystem, building connections between today\u2019s and tomorrow\u2019s workforce. For example, Michigan Central member and accelerator Femology had 5 of its founders participate in one of the curated sessions with the Engineering Society of Detroit, hosting a workshop for 35 girls that taught the foundations of being an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2302\"><em data-renderer-mark=\"true\"><strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">\u201cAt Femology, we believe the entrepreneurial journey can start at any age. Partnering with the Engineering Society of Detroit through Michigan Central allowed our founders to share real-world lessons with young girls entering high school, sparking curiosity and confidence in their own ideas. Sometimes it only takes one interaction, one moment of connection to help nurture a girl\u2019s journey as she begins to imagine her own future. These experiences open doors, showing what\u2019s possible and planting the belief that she belongs in the rooms where innovation and leadership take place. That\u2019s how we grow both tomorrow\u2019s entrepreneurs and Michigan\u2019s broader ecosystem.\u201d &#8211; Meagan Ward, Founder of Femology<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"3007\">As the new school year starts, Michigan Central remains committed to developing talent and making sure the future built here provides opportunities for the Detroit community and region. There is much more to share over the next few weeks in this space, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Michigan Central, we believe that investing in youth and their talent development is essential to fostering Detroit&#8217;s next generation of innovators.
