Ford Philanthropy and Bloomberg Philanthropies have made a joint $5 million commitment to Detroit Public Schools Community District to put more students on a pathway to auto technician jobs in Detroit.

Michael Bloomberg, founder of New York-based Bloomberg Philanthropies was in Detroit on Monday morning to announce the gift with Ford Motor Co. CEO Jim Farley.

The grant to Detroit Public Schools Community District Foundation will help modernize and expand the auto technician program at Breithaupt Career and Technical Center on Hubbell Avenue and restart the program at Western International High School in Southwest Detroit.

“The future of our country depends on the skilled trades,” Farley said in a news release.

By 2029, the U.S. will need more than 350,000 new auto technicians, including 7,000 in Michigan, he said.

“But these are highly skilled jobs, and people need a way to start learning earlier, build those skills over time and do it without taking on a lot of debt. That’s why Ford is investing in innovative programs like this — to disrupt the old model and give students a direct path from high school to great jobs, with the chance to keep growing their income, their skills and even their own businesses over time,” Farley said.

The investment kicks off a larger $90 million Bloomberg Philanthropies effort launching this week focused on helping more high school students land jobs in the skilled trades by bringing together schools, employers and local partners.

The expansion of the skilled trades programs at DPSCD is part of its broader High School Redesign initiative, which is set to launch this fall at its 11 neighborhood high schools with the aim of aligning classroom learning with high-growth industry demands.

The new $5 million investment focuses on four pillars that align with the district’s new strategic direction:

- modernizing classrooms
- increasing work-based learning and credentials
- investing in education with advanced professional development and training and
providing transportation support to ensure students can get to off-site training and work-based learning opportunities.

“Detroit Public Schools Community District is one of the most improved school districts in the country academically since the pandemic. Now that the district has been turned around, organizations better trust their investments to demonstrate a return on investment. Read More:

A New York City Honda dealership will pay $130,000 to settle allegations it sold used vehicles for more than advertised during a seven-month period in 2025 and 2026 after the store changed hands, city officials announced May 14.

Honda of the Bronx admitted to a 201-day period — from Aug. 2, 2025, to Feb. 19 — of advertising vehicles for sale with terms it didn’t intend to honor, according to the April 20 settlement with the city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. The dealership also agreed it charged customers more for vehicles than advertised on 24 specific deals.

“Used auto dealerships can offer more affordable options, but too often they’re rife with hidden fees, bait-and-switch tactics and predatory financing that drive costs even higher,” department commissioner Samuel Levine said in a statement.

Honda of the Bronx will pay $68,500.94 in restitution and $61,499.06 in penalties under the settlement — a lower amount than the $182,375 in fines and $68,500.95 in restitution the department in February warned the dealership was possible. Read More: https://cactusskyonline.com/3scer4w2

The lesson? Success isn't created by one big breakthrough—it's built through consistent effort, even when progress isn't visible.
If you've been working toward a goal, this message is for you.

Typewriter – Writing at the Speed of Business

Invented by Christopher Sholes and first manufactured by Re*****on in 1873, the typewriter transformed business communication. It standardized the written word, accelerated office work, and helped bring more women into the workforce.

The QWERTY keyboard, originally designed to slow down typing jams, became the standard layout still used today. One simple machine reshaped writing forever.
