Michigan Carpenters Union Opens New Training Center In Detroit

(CBS DETROIT) - The Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights is celebrating the grand opening of a new state-of-the-art training center in northwest Detroit.

Officials say the 145-square-foot training center features classrooms and training centers for hands-on experiences and real-world simulations.

The methods and tools that apprentices and workers will use at this training center are some of the most advanced tools in the construction industry right now.

There will also be a space to host community events in the new training center.

The grand opening ceremony, taking place on June 15,  will feature multiple speakers, including U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh, City of Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, Doug McCarren, General President of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, MRCC Executive Secretary-Treasurer Tom Lutz, and Donna Pardonnet Architectural Contractors Trade Association of Michigan.
