Build the Next Generation of Michigan's Skilled Trades Workforce
Every skilled trades professional can point to someone who took the time to teach them. Whether it was a journeyman, foreman, supervisor, or mentor, those individuals helped shape the careers that built Michigan’s homes, schools, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, and infrastructure.
Today, the Greater Michigan Construction Academy (GMCA) is looking for experienced tradespeople who are ready to pass that knowledge on to the next generation.
GMCA is actively seeking instructors across a wide range of skilled trades, including carpentry, electrical, instrumentation, HVAC, plumbing, ironworking, sheet metal, pipefitting, welding, industrial maintenance mechanic, and insulation. No previous teaching experience is required. GMCA provides the curriculum, instructor training, and NCCER certification needed to help industry professionals become successful educators.
Teaching at GMCA is an opportunity to make a lasting impact while continuing to stay connected to the industry. Instructors help students develop practical, real-world skills through hands-on training that prepares them for rewarding careers in construction and the skilled trades. Every class taught strengthens Michigan’s workforce and helps ensure the future of the construction industry remains strong.
If you’ve spent years mastering your trade and are passionate about helping others succeed, now is the perfect time to give back. Your experience could become the foundation of someone else’s successful career.
