Free training for good-paying jobs in skilled trades

There are a lot of construction jobs in Detroit, and not enough city residents to fill them. Our free Earn + Learn program is part of the job training pipeline to help Detroiters attain good-paying careers in the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) or Electrical skilled trades.

The next skilled-trades Earn + Learn class will begin on July 18. We encourage you to take advantage of this great opportunity! It’s open to residents of Detroit who are over 18 years old.

The 16-week training program will combine remote and hands-on training, which will be at the Detroit Training Institute of Technology. Classes will meet Monday through Friday from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Computer access for the remote learning is available if you need it.

By completing the program, you will earn certifications in either Electrical or HVAC, as well as certifications in MIOSHA, First AID, and Work Keys. You will also receive a stipend and job placement services.

Please fill out this online interest form to participate in a virtual orientation for the program, followed by testing and interviewing.
