Unemployed minorities and females looking to enter the construction industry in the St. Louis region now have a new training option.
MOKAN Construction Contractors Assistance Center announced Monday that an eight-week course, Construction Trades Pre-Apprenticeship Program, will teach classes of 25 people. The program doesn’t just offer job training, though. Students will also receive remedial education, financial guidance, and career preparation. They’ll also learn skills for coping with hours, responsibilities, and potentially being the only minority or female in their workplace.
