Urban League of Detroit and Southeastern Michigan

We are proud to partner with the Black Caucus Foundation of Michigan to provide students from Jefferson Douglass Academy and Noble Elementary-Middle School with an unforgettable opportunity to explore careers in the skilled trades at this year’s Construction Science Expo at Durfee Innovation Society! 🔨🏗️

Our students connected with schools from across the city, met inspiring tradesmen and tradeswomen, participated in hands-on experiences operating excavators and cranes, and gained exposure to the countless opportunities available in the construction and skilled trades industry.

Experiences like these help open doors, expand career pathways, and inspire the next generation of leaders, builders, and innovators. The future is bright! ❤️🖤

Honoring history. Remembering sacrifice. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

⛳️ Tee off for a great cause!
