In partnership with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, federal labor and workforce development experts, MGCA is hosting a Race to Talent™ event.
Hear from existing golf courses and apprentices in the MGCA “Golf Course Maintenance Technician” Registered Apprenticeship.
The Michigan golf industry’s total economic impact is $6.1 billion, yes billion, in part because the state is home to 859 courses, including the most public golf courses in the nation, stands as the top winter-interrupted golf tourism destination in the country and provides 61,000 jobs according to a recently completed study by the National Golf Foundation (NGF).
The Michigan Golf Course Association is the only association that is the voice of golf courses owners and operators in Michigan. Our mission is "to promote and preserve the best interests of the Michigan golf industry."
We fulfill our mission through a wide range of programs and services. When you join the MGCA you also receive a membership to the National Golf Course Owners Assocation and Small Business Association of Michigan.
The Michigan Golf Course Association, in coordination with the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Opportunity and U.S. Department of Labor, announced the creation of a new apprenticeship program: Golf Course Maintenance Technician.
Through this Registered Apprenticeship program, interested candidates can further their agronomy education, work alongside field experts to gain on the job learning, and gain a national occupation credential.
Current & Potential Employers are Encourages to Attend!
This event celebrates golf courses, apprentices, and agronomy teams, recognizing their role in elevating talent and sustaining the industry!
The Race to Talent™ event will have key officials from:
