adult Workforce Training Program: The Detroit Conservation Corps

 
 

Adult Workforce Development

Here at The Greening of Detroit, we believe Detroit’s real transformation will happen when its residents can find work that pays a living wage. That is why we developed a program to provide unemployed residents with valuable hands on job training opportunities and certifications within the landscaping sector. More than 1,000 Detroiters have graduated from our adult workforce training cohort since its inception five years ago. 

The Detroit Conservation Corps - Our workforce development training program is currently offering two courses:

  • Certified Tree Artisan

  • Snow Removal

To enroll in our workforce development program you must be at least 18 years old, a resident of Detroit, Hamtramck or Highland Park and have a barrier to employment. Most felony convictions are welcome.
