Emerge partners across Michigan communities with school districts, non-profits, chambers, industry partners and associations to bridge the gap between education and industry. Ultimately, our Emerge team is passionate about students gaining access to career exploration and workforce experiences earlier in their education journey so that by the time graduation occurs the student has a clear vision of their next step due to being exposed to real world scenarios. They focus on providing students career exploration (including through a virtual reality career quest), learning opportunities to develop skills needed for desired careers, and connections with industry. They provide the virtual reality program and EmergeNet platform FREE to schools and employers.
