    Detroit man builds career as a carpenter By Karen Dybis / The Detroit News
    The Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights selected Lee as a pre-apprentice on the project, designed to give Detroit residents jobs in the skilled trade industry. Lee will spend a year on the site, which will be applied to his four-year apprenticeship.

    “I want to get a hammer in my hand and get started,” Lee said. “I want to give back and be a participant in the growth of Detroit.”
