Several State of Michigan departments, along with the MI Trades Partnership, will host a Skilled Trades Career Fair on Thursday, May 8, 2025. The event will offer both in-person and virtual options, giving multiple opportunities to explore career paths in skilled trades. Staff from the Michigan Department of Civil Services, along with recruiters from skilled trades professions across the state, will be available to connect with attendees.
“This is a great opportunity for individuals looking for a rewarding career in a high-demand industry,” said Marlon I. Brown, Director of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). “These events not only connect job seekers with employers but also highlight the critical role that skilled trades play in strengthening our state and improving the quality of life for all Michiganders.”
Trades businesses are encouraged to attend and recruit for any open positions they may have. Additionally, the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) will be there in person to print DD 214 forms for those looking to apply with veterans’ preference.
The in-person session will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at 2407 N. Grand River Avenue, Lansing, MI 48906. The virtual session will be hosted from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and can be accessed here: MI Trades Career Event (virtual)
