Subject: Building Futures recruiting for the January 2022 class
To: Jennifer Gajdosik <jgajdosik@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Hello & Happy New Year! I'd appreciate your help in identifying candidates
for the Winter Building Futures class. A flyer is attached.
*Overview: *The Building Futures Construction Pre-Apprenticeship Training
program is a free class that connects low-income women and men ages 20+
with family-sustaining jobs in the construction industry and related
occupations.
*Program Design: *Accepted students attend the month-long,
pre-apprenticeship class in the Deanwood neighborhood from 9am – 2pm daily
(plus two Saturday sessions) with a curriculum that includes blueprint
reading, tool identification and use, OSHA 10, CPR/First Aid, Scaffold
Basics, and Flagger Safety & Traffic Control certifications, as well as job
readiness preparation. While most of the training is classroom-based, some
hands-on instruction is also part of the curriculum. The class includes
employability workshops as well as individualized job development. Case
management services help ensure retention in the program and on the job.
The class is unpaid, but a small weekly travel stipend is provided.
*Program Eligibility: *DC residents interested in applying to the Building
Futures class must:
- be committed to a construction career
- have a GED or HS diploma
- be healthy and drug-free (including marijuana)

*Background: *The Community Services Agency of the Metropolitan Washington
Council is the non-profit arm of the local AFL-CIO that manages
the Building Futures program and has been providing worker-centered
services since 1991.
*Next Steps: *Candidates should call me directly at (202) 974-8224 to begin
their application with a phone pre-screening no later than* January 20th *to
be considered for the class that begins later this month.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you,
Jennifer
