Building
Futures is
a program designed to introduce young men and women to
careers in the building trades, and provide them with the
educational support services that promote successful entry
into the local apprenticeship programs.
Building
Futures
will acquaint participants with the wide variety of career
opportunities available in the building trades, which often
have training facilities here in the greater bay area.
Students will visit local training facilities where they
will have ample opportunities to speak with the instructors
and other students who have already started
on their own career paths.
The demands of the modern
workplace have changed with the times. Young men and women
must learn to combine 21st century computer skills with more
direct, hands-on training in the field. They will soon
realize that their education will incorporate both the
modern technology and the traditional field experience.

Building
Futures
will also focus on strengthening the basic academic skills
necessary for passing both specific entry tests and earning
a GED certificate, while acquiring important workplace
skills including team building, interpersonal
communications, public speaking, job preparation, and
leadership training, all of which are necessary for success
in any workplace environment.
Changes in the employment
scene have resulted in an increased demand for workers that
have both a broad knowledge of their craft and an
understanding of the wide variety of related skills
necessary for career advancement.
Building
Futures
will help its student meet these new challenges.
