Henry Ford College (HFC) is a public two-year college located in Dearborn, Michigan in Metro Detroit. The school, established in 1938, is accredited by North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the Michigan Commission on College Accreditation. The school was originally named Fordson Junior College when it was established in 1938. Later the college was adopted as Dearborn Junior College in 1946, before adopting the name Henry Ford Community College (HFCC) in 1952, which was named after the Henry Ford Trade School which closed and its assets were transferred to the Dearborn School Board of Education. The name was shortened to Henry Ford College in 2014. The college has multiple nicknames, including "Hank High" and "Harvard on the Rouge."

Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship

The Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship Division offers training programs for people employed in skilled industrial occupations (primarily the apprenticeable skilled trades) and for people interested in entry into skilled trades occupations. Established in cooperation with industry, these programs provide theoretical and practical knowledge and the competencies required to supplement on-the-job training. Programs may vary from a single course that quickly provides specific knowledge and skills to a complete curriculum that provides comprehensive related instruction. Because the programs are employer-based, the Division operates on a plan of three consecutive 15-week semesters in fall, winter, and spring/summer to provide year-round instruction. The Division offers a variety of curricula for apprenticeable and similarly skilled industrial occupations. Each major curriculum consists of developmental, apprenticeship foundation and trade-specific foundation courses. Although generic trade-specific curricula are available for approximately 40 major industrial trade classifications, each sponsoring company can modify the curricula to meet its specific training needs.
