This report represents the culmination of a over a year of research, interviews, and vetting by D4 board andstaff, and is intended to present a snapshot of some of the more pressing issues and opportunities currently at play for the construction careers pipeline in Detroit and surrounding communities. The report explores how to increase opportunities for Detroit residents within the construction industry, identifying ways to address the obstacles that prevent many Detroiters from gaining access to construction careers, proposing a new way to define and monitor "success", and suggesting public policy solutions that will rebuild the broken pipeline into the industry and employmore Detroiters. While we focus on solutions within construction, this report contains some useful parallels for other industries.
