🌟 SPIRIT OF MCQMM Awards - there were two!

• Flint/Saginaw Electrical JATC
• IBEW Local 557
• IBEW Local 692

Recognizing teamwork, problem-solving, and stepping up when it mattered most, IBEW Local 557 and IBEW Local 692 offered assistance when, just days before MiCareerQuest Middle Michigan 2025, Flint/Saginaw Electrical JATC lost all the equipment they planned to bring the event. Because of this generosity, Flint/Saginaw JATC was able to participate in the event.

• Delta College (STEM Bus)
• General Motors
• Dave Hausbeck Trucking
• Alma Tire

When the Delta College STEM Explorer bus had problems the day of the event, exhibitor representatives from General Motors, Dave Hausbeck Trucking, and Alma Tire worked together to diagnose the problem and fix it so students could enjoy the STEM Bus exhibit.

🏆 MCQMM Champion Award
• Local 85

Since the first MiCareerQuest Middle Michigan event in 2019, Local 85 has played a huge role in helping make MCQMM a success. We value the partnership we have with Local 85, and celebrate them for the impact they continue to make.
