LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan is launching a new state website aimed at matching Michigan residents with "tens of thousands" of unfilled jobs by offering workers and employers one-stop shopping for career planning, job openings and education and training, Gov. Rick Snyder told The Associated Press.

The governor will discuss the Pure Michigan Talent Connect website Thursday when he delivers a special message on developing talent at Delta College in University Center near Saginaw. It's the fifth policy address of his first year in office, after earlier speeches on education, local government, health and wellness, and infrastructure.

The new Talent Connect website, which went live Wednesday, is designed to create a central hub that can help new workers and those trying to get back into the job market assess their skills, evaluate the return on investment for an education or training program, browse careers and connect with mentors.
