camcoreIntroducing CAM-CORE

 

"Like many in-demand fields, the construction industry is facing a shortage of workers. One of the most common issues is the lack of knowledge that Michigan workers have about in-demand careers and training programs. We need to address this issue, as early as possible, by identifying employers' talent needs and connecting individuals with the many unique career opportunities that are here today."

- Gov. Rick Snyder 

 

To address the widening gap between demand and qualified individuals, The Construction Association of Michigan (CAM) is thrilled to announce Construction * Opportunities * Resources * Education, also known as CAM-CORE, a website resource connecting you to information about starting or advancing your career in construction. This site provides current salary figures, statistics outlining the demand in Michigan, a list of universities offering Construction Management degree programs, scholarship opportunities, and information on all of the skilled trades.  


 

Visit www.CAM-CORE.com today and learn more about all of the various resources available to support Michigan's growing need for qualified construction personnel.

BOMA2One Detroit Center Receives BOMA Award

One Detroit Center, an award-winning, Class A office property located in downtown Detroit, received The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) award from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) of Metro Detroit, for properties from 500,000 to 1 million square feet. This is the sixth time One Detroit Center has been awarded the TOBY, which recognizes quality in office buildings and awards excellence in office building management. The award was presented to One Detroit Center, which is majority owned by iStar Financial on Friday, November 7, 2014, at MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit.  

 

Judging for the TOBY awards is based on community impact, tenant/employee relations programs, energy management systems, emergency evacuation procedures, building personnel training programs and overall quality indicators.

 

"One Detroit Center is a landmark property and a leader on multiple levels, including service, responsiveness and luxury amenities," said Greg Camia, lead executive of One Detroit Center and senior vice president of iStar Financial. "It is fitting that One Detroit Center received the TOBY award again in 2014; this has been a tremendously successful year for the building in terms of tenant outreach and satisfaction and investment in the One Detroit Center brand."

 

In 2014 alone, One Detroit Center, Michigan's tallest office building, has hosted a Paint the Crown art event for tenants, organized a monthly Melodic Monday concert series that brings members of the acclaimed Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) to the east lobby during the lunch hour and unveiled a 25 foot exterior LED sign to promote tenants and community events.
