The program especially targets individuals from underserved communities — people who are unemployed or underemployed, young adults, women, veterans, or minorities — giving them a bridge into well‑paid construction trades careers.
MI State Representative Joey Andrews

About 300 hours of training covering construction trades fundamentals, safety certification (OSHA 30, First Aid/CPR), and pre‑apprenticeship skills.

Career coaching, job placement assistance, and direct access to registered apprenticeships via labor‑union partnerships.

Wrap‑around support to help overcome common barriers—things like transportation, childcare assistance, and even small stipends in some cases.
