Dear Friend,
You served honorably in the military, and your sacri-
fice for our country is noticed and appreciated. You
defended the American Dream, and now we invite you
to join another honorable profession as a builder.
Your skills obtained in the military can easily transfer
from defending the American Dream to building it.
Skilled to Build Michigan Foundation created this guide-
book with you in mind. It looks at jobs in each branch
of the military that complement the trades, and then
refers you to the specific trade in the back of the book
you might want to explore.
It is our mission to cultivate future employees and
educate them about the opportunities in the residential
construction industry. Not only do we cultivate and

tion industry.
