The Utilities and Construction Prep Program is a seven-week intensive training program that addresses basic skills in math and English, as well as, fundamental construction skills, general work readiness, and financial literacy in the context of preparing for careers in the construction trades or utility sectors.
Using a cohort-based learning community, the program includes broad outreach to disconnected and under-prepared adults and intensive support services, including case management. The program is the result of the work of an industry-driven collaborative that includes faculty, major employers, labor unions and workforce agencies. Upon completion, students are ready to move into employment, as well as to continue in educational programs to obtain certificates or degrees in either field.
