About Skilled to Build Michigan Foundation

Skilled to Build Michigan Foundation is the nonprofit arm of the Home Builders Association of Michigan, a professional trade association with a 4,000+ member network of builders, remodelers and subcontractors. Over the last decade, the residential construction industry has seen a tremendous decline in skilled labor. By connecting employers with skilled laborers, we can address the workforce shortage and fill these essential positions.

"Upon obtaining the certification, earners have multiple opportunities to engage with employers, which in turn connects employers with skilled and interested laborers. This is one way we address the workforce shortage and fill these essential positions."
