DETROIT, Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- In just nine months since the Center for Film Studies, (CFS,) began their film trade school, hundreds of Michigan residents have completed course work training and have been put back to work.

Connections and contacts made are everything to gaining employment.

CFS graduates have this great resource to research and apply for job opportunities in Michigan which producer's and production studios are able to access to seek out candidates themselves. CFS has been approved to receive "No Worker Left Behind Funds" that includes the North American Free Trade Agreement Transitional Adjustment Assistance Program (NAFTA/TAA Program,) along with the Career Transition Program funding.
