Notes
Michigan does not require a statewide ironworker license for individual workers. The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) licenses many trades but does not issue individual ironworker licenses. Workers typically train through union apprenticeships with local Ironworkers unions. Verify at michigan.gov/lara.
