Since 2008, Michigan Construction Career Days (MICCD) is Michigan’s premiere construction career exploration event. Based on the National Career Day model, MICCD provides Michigan’s young people with the opportunity to experience construction up-close — getting the chance to use real tools, materials, and heavy equipment under the direct guidance of construction professionals from all sectors of the industry. These young people will not only see first-hand what construction is like, but learn of the training and education paths that are available to help secure the good paying jobs a career in construction provides.

The first event was held in 2011 at the Michigan Science Center and subsequent highly successful events have been held at that location or the A. Philip Randolph Career and Technical Center.
