Slots Open For Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

DC metro area residents interested in getting into good-paying construction jobs can apply now for the next Building Futures class. The 6-week pre-apprenticeship training program runs May through June and offers a combination of classroom and hands-on activities with an orientation to the construction industry, as well as rights and responsibilities at work. Candidates must be at least 21 years old, have a valid driver's license or learner's permit, be drug-free, and have a high school diploma or GED. “Most importantly, they should be serious about a career in construction,” says Kathleen McKirchy, Executive Director of the Community Services Agency (CSA), which runs the DOL GJIF-funded program. There will be an information session this Thursday, March 28 from 1–2:30p at the Deanwood Library (1350 49th Street, NE) where interested students can speak directly with a Building Futures graduate currently working in the field.  Pre-screening of applicants after 2:30pm. “Please pass this along to anyone you think might be interested,” urges McKirchy. - photo: previous Building Futures class; photo by Sylvia Casaro
