The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

Yesterday, Michigan Governor Jennifer M. Granholm joined Microsoft in announcing a grant that will create an online course to help Michigan students understand how the new global economy will impact their work lives and their career opportunities.

The course, which will be provided to Michigan schools at no cost, will allow students to meet the requirement for an online learning experience contained in the new high school core curriculum proposed by State Superintendent Mike Flanagan and approved by the State Board of Education (DOE).

"This course is an incredible two-fer" Granholm said. "It will help our students understand how to thrive in a changing economy, and it will teach them how to learn on-line, something they will need to do throughout their work lives."
