Thank you to all who participated in making the Tools for Tomorrow campaign a success!

Every skilled tradesperson has a unique ‘hardhat story.’  

Each person’s path of how they got into the construction industry is unique. Some grew up in the trades; learning how to wield a hammer as soon as they were able to lift one. Others have taken the leap later in their career, attracted to the many benefits the industry offers. 

And a steadily growing number of construction professionals start right here at the West Michigan Construction Institute.

What's your hard hat story?

October is Careers in Construction Month, the perfect opportunity to showcase your unique journey in the industry with the West Michigan community. We’re asking you to join us by sharing your story and supporting WMCI students who are just starting to build their own. 

It’s easy! Here’s how:
