On April 21 & 22, 2009, hundreds of dedicated construction professionals endured rain, wind, cold and lots of mud to show thousands of Michigan young people they can build a life for themselves with a career in construction at the second annual Operating Engineers Michigan Construction Career Days.
During these two days, middle and high school students from across the state were given a chance to experience construction. They operated front end loaders, bulldozers, cranes and excavators. They sweat copper pipe and welded steel. They drove nails. They learned about the technology imbedded throughout the construction industry. These young people where also shown the various training and education paths that lead to careers in construction by the many skilled trades unions, industry associations and colleges and universities also part of the Operating Engineers Michigan Construction Career Days (MICCD).

On behalf of the MICCD Advisory Board and the thousands of young people who came, thank you to these dedicated construction professionals for making the Operating Engineers Michigan Construction Career Days a tremendous success…we are building Michigan’s construction workforce!
A huge MICCD thank you to our major sponsors:
