Building Equity in Construction

Bronx Community College in conjunction with CUNY City Tech and LaGuardia Community College, have joined forces, via the Department of Labor’s Strengthening Community Colleges 2(SCC2) grant, to offer a variety of construction trainings at minimal cost.  The purpose of the grant is to create a more equitable representation of men and women (people in underrepresented demographics and/or communities) within the field of construction.

The trainings follow the guidelines and curriculum of the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), a national organization founded on the premise of creating standardization in construction trainings.

Here at Bronx Community College, we are offering NCCER CORE, NCCER Carpentry, NCCER Electricity,  NCCER Plumbing with additional course offerings in OSHA 30 and Site Safety Training (SST) (these are not part of the grant but are required in order to work on a construction site).   Our consortium members, CUNY City Tech, located in Brooklyn, NY, and LaGuardia Community College, located in Queens, are offering similar trainings.  To view their training list, please click on their weblinks below to obtain program, course(s), and contact information.
