The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity’s Michigan College Credit for Apprenticeships Program awards college credit for rigorous on-the-job learning that occurs in Michigan’s Skilled Building Trade registered apprenticeship programs. Michigan Trades workers who have completed registered apprenticeships through a participating Building Union Trade can use this program to transfer credits to a participating community college.
Through this program, Trades workers can pursue degrees or certifications to maximize their earnings, adaptability, and career options without having to start from scratch. In many cases, eligible Union Trade workers will only need to take a semester of community college courses to obtain an associate’s degree.
The Michigan College Credit for Apprenticeships Program was launched in partnership with the state’s Skilled Building Trades Unions, the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential, the Michigan Community College Association, and the Michigan Workforce Development Board.
You can learn new technologies, start your own business, pursue union leadership, or otherwise advance your career by continuing your education. Trades workers who completed a registered apprenticeship with any of the following Skilled Building Trade Unions are eligible:
The following community colleges accept credit for registered apprenticeships through the Michigan College Credit for Apprenticeships Program.

Go to the Michigan Transfer Network website to see how your registered apprenticeship credits will transfer to various community colleges. Colleges are updating this information on a rolling basis – so if you do not see your Union Trade or local Community College on the list yet, check back in the coming months or contact your local community college for more information on how to enroll.
