Participants receive a monthly stipend, tuition assistance, supplies, equipment, coaching, mentoring and a 1-year follow-up after the initial 12-months of training and experience.

The program collaborates with local post-secondary institutions for instruction, career counseling and wrap-around services as may be needed.  We also collaborate with local agencies for hands-on experiences and service learning opportunities.

Upon completion of the program the participants have gained stackable portable credentials that allow them to enter the workforce and help meet a job shortage area (construction industries) as trained construction workers in San Juan and Rio Arriba Counties in NM.
