The Hub of Detroit Partners with G-Team for Mechanics-in-Training Extension

Online campaign to provide work-extension for youth employed by The Hub of Detroit’s Mechanics-in-Training Program

Detroit, MI – The Hub of Detroit (thehubofdetroit.org) and Groupon’s G-Team (groupon.com/g-team) announce the launch of a local campaign to allow Detroiters to directly extend youth employment opportunities in the Cass Corridor this fall.   The Hub of Detroit’s Mechanics-in-Training Extension campagin will be available on Groupon Detroit’s G-Team page beginning on Tuesday, August 30th and running through Thursday, September 1st.

Utilizing G-Team’s collaborative action model, Groupon followers can help directly contribute to the extension of employment for The Hub of Detroit’s Mechanics-in-Training, whose program is scheduled to run through the end of August.

Contributions through the Mechanics-in-Training Extension campaign will go directly towards extending the employment of our Mechanics-in-Training beyond their current summer engagement. With job-training and experience hours at a premium, each $10 contribution made through the G-Team website will enable The Hub to extend one further hour of employment for a Mechanic-in-Training.
