NEW Construction Training Grant Opportunity
SPONSORED BY
PRESENTER
Robert Moore, Melissa Perkins, Cathy Tyler, and Sharon Bonney
ABSTRACT
Join us for an information session with COABE’s partner the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). This session will provide details about a recently launched grant opportunity that will offer COABE members the opportunity to learn about starting a construction education program and how the credentials earned through NCCER can positively impact local, state, and federal funding requirements. Construction is one of the most in-demand industries nationwide and offers limitless potential for earnings, personal growth, and career satisfaction. This call will provide participants the opportunity to ask questions about program accreditation, curriculum, instructor training, and ongoing support. We will review the products and funding included in the start-up bundle, as well as program and outcome requirements. This is an extraordinary opportunity for training sites that have been considering starting a construction training program or are interested in reviving trades training.
