The Michigan Council of Carpenters and Millwrights trade union is finishing their new training center on what was an empty field in the Tuxedo neighborhood on Detroit’s west side. Part of the union’s mission is to train more Detroiters to join the trades. This summer, they started a boot camp so high school students can learn what it’s like to become a carpenter.
