Building Trades Summer Camp
Apply on April 1st
What is the Building Trades Summer Camp?
The Building Trades Summer Camp Program is designed to serve as an introduction to the union construction industry. Students can explore and build skills while learning in a controlled environment about high demand career opportunities. The Upper Peninsula Construction Council (a joint Labor/Management Council established and sponsored by affiliated signatory union contractors and building trades) in collaboration with UP 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 ($13.00/Hr + $200 completion bonus) and LEARN program.
We are recruiting for the official start of the Building Trades Summer Camp Program to begin July 7-August 14, 2025.
Registration is open from April 1st to April 30th, 2025. Apply now!
