Interviews with the Building and Construction Trades Council of Westchester and Putnam Counties, NY AFL-CIO will be arranged.
The IDA approved spending up to $250,000 to form the pre-apprenticeship program back in December 2017. To be eligible for the program, applicants must have a high school diploma or equivalency diploma, be drug-free, able to lift at least 50 lbs. and commit to attending all 25 days of classes. The next classes are scheduled to begin in November.
