From data entry to general office assistant and executive secretary, Michigan has many entry level and management positions available. Our business and administrative support professionals are the backbone of our programs and services and help provide top notch service to Michiganders across the state.
Do you have experience working in the medical or healthcare fields? From register nurses, licensed practical nurses, dentists, psychiatrists, physicians, and more, we have numerous medical and healthcare career paths in state government.
The State of Michigan offers several law enforcement and public safety career pathways in the Michigan State Police (MSP), Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division (DNR), and the Department of Corrections (MDOC). From conservation officers, to probation and parole agents, to motor carrier officers and state troopers, there is no shortage of opportunities to serve and protect the people and property of Michigan.
We are dedicated to bridging the gap between civilian and military employment and helping veterans gain and retain employment in state government. We are proud partners with the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency's (MVAA) Veteran-Friendly Employer program which is committed to military veteran recruitment, training, and retention.
In addition, the State of Michigan is waiving its requirement of a bachelor’s degree for many state jobs if the veteran completed at least two years of active federal service in any branch at the rank of E-6 or above.
Application Tip: Michigan Civil Service Commission (MCSC) Rule 3-8 authorizes veterans' preference for veterans or qualifying spouses who meet minimum qualifications in selection processes for the state classified service. Be sure to register for Veterans Preference.
State employees receive upwards of 14 scheduled holidays each year, which include Presidents Day, Juneteenth, General Election Day (even-numbered years), and Veterans Day just to name a few.
