It's official. The Dildilian Foundation for the Building Trades has taken the next steps for our next step. We have a school board in place and our next steps in place to formally launch our school.

“Developing skills in professional trades is critical to Michigan’s economic success,” said Greg Dildilian, President and Founder of The Dildilian Foundation for the Building Trades. “It is estimated that more than half a million skilled trade jobs will be created between now and 2026. The demand is high and I am proud the Dildilian Foundation will be able to help support the supply of talent to fill this workforce gap through the new Building Trades School.”

A new, one-of-its-kind Charter School focused on the building trades and developing entrepreneurial skills in young men and women is being planned to launch in Fall 2021.

It's a trend that's spreading to various schools - and both students and teachers love it.

Mike Rowe and the mikeroweWORKS foundation may be on to something. Trade schools are seeing a rebirth. What's old is new again.

It's time to bring back Trade Schools.

Huge shortages loom in the skilled trades, which require less — and cheaper — training. Should that make students rethink the four-year degree?

BE A PART OF REBUILDING THE COMMUNITY!

I am pleased to announce that the Dildilian Foundation for the Building Trades has gained 501c3 status!

The Foundation will establish a charter school specifically designed to teaching the Building Trades at a High School Academy. Sight selection is underway and we will be announcing when the application process starts.

MISSION STATEMENT:

The foundation and charter school is devoted to educating students who will become a talent pool of employable individuals with entrepreneurial and trade skills that are devoted to building their careers and re- building their communities. The foundation will raise funds for the charter school which will revitalize economically depressed neighborhoods through the repair, renovation and restoration of existing homes. Together, the foundation and the charter school will foster and encourage the partnership of parental, private and community support and involvement at all levels to ensure success.

REBUILDING OUR COMMUNITIES BY BUILDING THE TRADES

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

The need to address the failing of education in our inner cities becomes more important, as cities become increasingly aware that the current educational system fails more students, because it does not promote the education of hands-on skills. To assist with this, The Dildilian Foundation for the Building Trades (the “Dildilian Foundation” or the “Foundation”), a nonprofit corporation currently seeking 501(c)(3) status, proposes the creation of a charter school (the “Charter School”) in the Detroit area that would focus on delivering high school diplomas while teaching skilled building trades to its students.

The Dildilian Foundation charter school concept would identify students who have an aptitude and interest in learning a skilled trade. It would also give the student an opportunity to start a business and contribute toward the development and staffing needs of the charter school after successfully completing its course curriculum. The Charter School would be funded using the State School Aid foundation, state and federal grants, and donations from the Dildilian Foundation and other donors and partners.

The Foundation and Charter School would be a new model for public and private interests. Currently there is no other program that exists with the depth that the Dildilian Foundation for the Building Trades and the Charter School can offer. It would be a collaborative effort on the part of business, private investors, unions and State and Federal grants. It would be a venture that would motivate future leaders by stressing the importance of giving back to their neighborhood community by rebuilding neighborhoods that are forgotten or in economic distress.
