Across the country, builders and developers are facing the same challenge: there aren’t enough skilled workers to meet demand. Projects are delayed, costs are rising, and the labor gap keeps growing.
At Detroit Home Builders, we saw this coming — and decided to be part of the solution.
We didn’t just launch a construction company — we built a pipeline. Through our state-certified pre-apprenticeship and U.S. Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship programs, we train Detroit residents to become highly capable, job-ready professionals in the skilled trades.
Here's How We're Making It Work:
🔨 Hands-On Jobsite Training
Our students and apprentices learn by doing — not just from books, but by working on real Detroit properties.
🎓 Industry Certifications
From OSHA 30 to tool safety and trade-specific skills, our graduates leave with more than experience — they leave with credentials.
💼 Workforce Partnerships
We partner with local contractors, schools, and workforce agencies to get people trained, employed, and earning.
🏘️ Community Impact
Our work doesn't stop at training — it results in affordable housing, home repairs, and neighborhood revitalization. We're literally rebuilding Detroit from the inside out.
Why It Matters:
This isn’t just about construction. It’s about access. It’s about opportunity. And it’s about making sure Detroit has the skilled workforce needed to power its growth — today and in the future.
If you’re a homeowner, contractor, developer, or organization looking to make a real impact — let’s talk.
Together, we can close the labor gap and build something that lasts.
