Many regions face a shortage of skilled labor, with millions of job openings projected in the next decade.
We don’t just hire any instructor. GMCA instructors have years of experience in their field of training. Some have over 25 years in their trade and occupation. Many work with the students in the field, to help them learn on the job. So you get the benefit of real-world knowledge and gain the kind of practical insights that can’t be learned from a textbook.
We think it’s important to practice what you’re learning. That’s why we incorporate hands-on training into all our programs. You’ll learn better and quicker by doing the work than you will just sitting in a lecture room.
Assessment testing can be used to evaluate journey-level knowledge and skills of experienced craft professionals, pre–and-post-employment purposes, and to provide a training prescription for a craft worker. In other words, If you’ve been working in your field and are deciding to go back to school to get certified, we have the ability to test you and see where you need to be.
GMCA Craft Training is certified by NCCER. If a student leaves the area, the education is transferable, portable, and recognized throughout the nation. Our training is also recognized by the Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship Training (DOL/OA). Opportunities for craft specific apprenticeships are available.
Employers hire GMCA trained employees because they recognize the quality of training we provide. They understand that our graduates have the kind of career training it takes to succeed in their chosen profession.
The Greater Michigan Construction Academy facilitates opportunities for career growth in the construction industry through 11 continuing education programs targeting craft workers, foremen, supervisors, project managers, superintendents and company management. Providing such programs is important to the construction industry to achieve knowledgeable employees and a safe work environment.
