When you think of Thanksgiving, do you think of being "home" for the holiday? If you're a former Michigander looking to make your visit more permanent, then Back to Michigan is the career event for you!

​

You may be familiar with Thanksgiving weekend events that have happened around the state over the last nine years. These casual, professional networking events, usually hosted at a local bar or similar venue, have become a staple tradition in many Michigan communities.​

​

As with many things, COVID-19 derailed the typical format of these Thanksgiving weekend events. So instead, communities around Michigan decided to come together for collaborative, virtual and in-person career events around Thanksgiving, called Back to Michigan.

 

In 2021, six regions around the state hosted Back To Michigan, a series of virtual networking events where people interested in relocating to Michigan, and current residents who are unemployed, will be able to speak directly with hiring employers.
