Pontiac’s redevelopment is creating opportunities—and here’s a chance to get in on the work.
The Oakland County/Pontiac Carpenter Combine connects job seekers directly with contractors who are ready to hire. Instead of a traditional career fair, participants can show their skills, attitude and hustle on a hands-on course.
No experience? No problem. The event is open to current union members and people interested in entering the skilled trades, with tuition-free apprenticeship training available.
