Construction Trades Pre-Apprenticeship Opportunities for Veterans

This document outlines an offering for Construction Trades Pre-Apprenticeship Opportunities specifically for Veterans, sponsored by the EDC in collaboration with the NJBUILD Women and Minority Veterans Program. The program provides free classes, pre-testing, and training for various construction trades including Laborers, Carpenters, Bricklayers, Electricians, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Truck Drivers. Participants can receive stipends of up to $125 per week during training and the program will cover up to $600 for apprenticeship tests and Union initiation fees, along with OSHA-30 classes and driver's license restoration assistance. The initiative is funded by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, aiming to train women and minorities in the construction trade.
