What makes a “Trade Academy” unique?
Trade Academies are formally established to provide programs and services directed toward preparing the enrollees for specific careers and continuing education beyond high school. Integration of Academies with occupational skills and knowledge is important. Extensive collaboration with business/industry and labor is critical to the success of programs. Program scope may range from one to multiple career ideas. Trade Academies must obtain formal approval for establishment from the Michigan Jobs Commission.
