NEW Construction Training Grant Opportunity

Описание: Discover how adult education can open doors to high-demand, high-wage careers in the construction industry. Join COABE and our national partner, the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), for an inspiring information session highlighting a newly launched grant opportunity designed specifically for COABE members.

This session will explore how to start—or revitalize—a construction education program using NCCER’s nationally recognized curriculum and credentials, and how those credentials can strengthen alignment with local, state, and federal funding priorities. With construction among the most in-demand industries nationwide, this opportunity offers learners a pathway to meaningful careers with strong earning potential, upward mobility, and long-term stability.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of program accreditation, curriculum options, instructor training, and the robust ongoing support available. We’ll also walk through what’s included in the start-up bundle, as well as program expectations and outcome requirements. Ample time will be provided for questions and discussion.

Whether you are ready to launch a new construction training program or looking to reenergize trades training in your community, this grant opportunity represents a powerful chance to expand impact, meet workforce needs, and transform lives through education and skills training.
