These aren’t just students — they’re the next generation shaping Detroit’s growth and opportunity.

Mayor Sheffield visited the Sachse Construction Academy, a workforce development program that gives Detroit students hands-on experience on active construction sites and direct exposure to careers in the skilled trades.

Through the program, students connect with industry professionals, explore union and non-union career pathways, and gain real-world insight into the work driving Detroit’s development.

Programs like this are helping build a pipeline of local talent, ensuring Detroiters have access to the jobs supporting the city’s growth.

Because the next generation isn’t just learning the work — they’re helping build Detroit’s future.
