Weeks one and two individuals are assessed through classroom activities and construction site activities. Weeks three through twelve are spent on a Habitat for Humanity construction site. This course includes OSHA 500 Hazard Awareness, Construction Standards, Implement and Tool Usage and Blueprint reading. The goal upon completion is for all participants to be eligible for entrance into union-sponsored apprenticeship programs or to obtain employment within the construction industry. Job placement and follow-up services are included for individuals who complete the program.
Funding is provided through a grant from the State of Minnesota.
