1. Michael Berry Career Center
Preparing the students of today for the jobs of tomorrow
Hi, I’m INSERT NAME AND SMILE HERE
I’m from the Michael Berry Career Center.
We are at the corner of Warren and Ann Arbor Trail by Outer Drive.
The Career Center was built by the school district to offer several unique educational programs for Dearborn School District students, including you,
The idea behind the Michael Berry Career Center is to offer specific training for specific high paying jobs in high demand.
We don’t train you to be a rocket scientist where you can earn high pay but there aren’t very many jobs
We also don’t train you to be a child care worker where there are plenty of jobs but the pay is low
Our program involves leaving your home high school and coming to our Career Center for three hours of the school day.
