"The Red Wings Paying it Forward to the City of Detroit - Go Wings"
The Red Wings are giving back to Detroit citizens in the
form of General Contractors supporting On The Job apprentice trade program
opportunities for people who want professional credentials. Opportunities for
certifications and licenses in areas such as plumbing, carpentry, electricians, are being discussed
by project leaders and City officials.
A vital part of rebuilding the city is to train people to do
the job. The Olympia Project and Motown Museum project is a long-term
investment into Detroit. The goal is to hire %51 Detroit based contractors. This
project is anticipated to have many Sub Contractors working on the project
under the General Contractor. Being a
bonded sub-contractor is a plus however, if you company is not bonded, a
participating General Contractor will purchase insurance for a non-bonded sub
contractor.
The main benefit of this arrangement is that once the
project is finished, these people can be hired to do other construction jobs in
the neighborhoods. Fixing savable property and building new property will be a
re-investment into the neighborhoods by the Olympia Group. This arrangement
with Olympia Entertainment and the City of Detroit will help to eradicate the blight
that is in our City now.
In other job news, there will be an immediate need for
Landscapers for the I-94 project. The Detroit Economic Growth Corporation (DEGC) is committed to hiring %51 Detroit based businesses. If you interested and a
licensed landscaper, please do not hesitate to apply. The Project is $35,585 per
year for two years and, you will need to put %10 down if you’re interested in
doing the job. If your company is not
bonded, opportunities will be made for you to get one.
