Employers • PRACTICAL GUIDE

Create an entry-level hiring message that explains training

Michigan Skilled Trades Job Fairs • Published October 18, 2026

Candidates need to know what “training provided” actually means. Describe the support available and the expectations they must meet at the start.

Put it into practice

  1. Name the tasks beginners learn first and who supervises their work.
  2. Explain how progress is reviewed and how assignments change as competence grows.
  3. Clarify schedule, attendance expectations, and the practical demands of the work.

Make the next step count

Use examples from your real onboarding process rather than broad promises about unlimited advancement. If training is informal or varies by location, say so accurately. Clear expectations help both the employer and applicant decide whether the opportunity is a good fit.
