The Detroit Training Facility Nobody Knows About

[@Noobularr]

I'd also recommend contacting the wayne westland school district, specifically the William D. Ford Technical Center, they have construction classes for students and it could be a nice way to get a younger group into the business quickly. The class has them on an actual job site, building an actual home.

[@SanbornConstructionGroup]

That’s awesome! I didn’t know that, we’ll definitely connect with them

[@Noobularr]

@@SanbornConstructionGroup Their whole thing, is trying to get the students into jobs straight out of their program so it would be perfect, I believe the also have some HVAC and electrical style classes as well, at least for what would be useful to you guys. (They also have things like game design, cyber security, EMT / EMS, Photography, tons of different possible trades)

I'm an old service plumber. It is hard as heck to get young people to do service work. They want the 8 to 4. with lunch at 12.

[@SanbornConstructionGroup]

I completely agree

[@tipthetoolgirl]

Sad that way back when, they weren't giving black folks a chance to get into certain industries so they could teach the next generation, now all the white guys a getting old and the positions are opening up🤷‍♀️

I just finished my pre licensure course for the Michigan Residential Builders license via The Detroit Training Center.. will be testing and licensed soon!!

Wow so cool! So neat to see inside a real workshop and thorough trade school. How ironic that so many people need jobs yet it’s hard to find people with the right skills. Praying everyone in need of a job and workers is a success 🙏🏻🎄Especially for the holidays. Thanks for the BTS look into the networking and the happenings in the Detroit Renaissance 👏🏻It’s so wonderful. Brick by brick all these things come together to impact so many.

[@SanbornConstructionGroup]

I appreciate that, have a happy holiday season!

@@SanbornConstructionGroup It’s a real conundrum, isn't it? Employers often face a difficult choice: either invest time and resources into training new employees, or pay a premium to hire someone with the right skills from the start. Given the limited pool of skilled workers, the latter option often seems more appealing. However, if employers do decide to invest in training, they need to offer competitive starting wages and ensure good union wages once the apprenticeships are completed. It's a complex balancing act between short-term costs and long-term benefits.

What a wonderful facility/training center, great idea! Trade skills from the bottom up learning. I was impressed they covered every aspect of a rehabilitation/remodel/build. It's really cool that your company and the facility can work together - looks like a win - win for both. I would like to see more high schools have beginner classes, on the basics of home repair; might encourage more to go to trade schools and get into the fields. Very informative video!

[@SanbornConstructionGroup]

I couldn’t agree more. If there were more electives in school around the trades I think you’d get more people going into it

[@tipthetoolgirl]

Right, but they took all the stuff you can actually use in life out of the school system Shop class, home eco etc🤷‍♀️

[@tfoen7678]

@@tipthetoolgirl agree. My high school had shop, home eco, automotive technology, and industrial design n build; all were taught by retired UAW/teamster members or trade folks and bored homemakers/H-1 worker wives who wanted to be out of the house and make $$$ part time. Those were the days when you learn something for free b4 YT and a second language too.

I’ve been looking for some stepping stones inside the city

[@craiggillett5985]

Smart trade training.

If you folks are short on someone who can draw CAD for shop drawings, Millwork drawings and space planning, please feel free to reach out to me. Thanks.

[@retxedjr]

So you had time to walk through a school but not show one of the flips your company is working on? No update at all. You're on my radar buddy.

[@SanbornConstructionGroup]

​@SanbornConstructionGroup Bruv, it's just a rerun of your shorts on this channel. Why would you send me there knowing that I wouldn't see anything different? I smell a fraud. I was rooting for you, too!

[@ICYUNV]

Ive paid for of classes and haven't used them yet 😂

[@deidreshepherd3776]

How much is it for the training? Are there scholarships?

[@SanbornConstructionGroup]

I’m not sure on cost but I believe there are programs that help pay

[@kingdomstcg]

Awesome stuff!

[@SanbornConstructionGroup]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AlexanderWaylon]

That’s awesome

[@Harvey847]

actually the only problem is everybody wants you to have experience but nobody a give you a shot then all these old guys swear us young guys dont wanna work nobody gives us a chance

[@gavinvideos8062]

Pretty cool, but you don’t have to be osha certified to work on cheap flip houses😂

[@SanbornConstructionGroup]

That’s true, but they train on a lot of heavy equipment etc which requires osha

[@combatkool-aid9495]

Wow this privatized union hall looks pretty comfy. I mean if you cant find employees pay more and knock it off with the experience games. Im the type of guy who stays at a place doing trades until im better than my middle manager. The general handyness skiped the gen x and a good chunk of milenials. As a gen z i pity yall businesses owners lack of planning with getting rid of internal job training.
