The Construction Connect U.P. Program is designed to serve as an effective transition from school to career. The Upper Peninsula Construction Council (a joint Labor/Management Council established and sponsored by affiliated signatory union contractors and building trades) in collaboration with U.P. Michigan Works and Local Education Agencies (ISD’s & RESA’s) have developed this program that is skill based, labor and industry approved and directly linked to explicit real-world workplace situations. This is an earn ($14.00/Hr) and learn program.
