Get The Training You Need To Start Your Career In The Construction Industry

Our program is delivered in partnership with the Government of New Brunswick to help people in our city who are experiencing barriers to employment. Right now, nearly every construction company is looking for labourers who have a simple set of skills and a determined work ethic.

We take students through a 4 (Mon-Thurs) day training week (8:30am-12pm) and teach them the basic skills, language, and terminology they need to be valuable to any company or contractor in the region.

Lastly, we test you on some basic skills and if you pass the test we will immediately connect you with one of the many companies in the area looking for workers. The minimum age to take this training is 18 and there is no maximum.

Our programs are for those experiencing barriers to employment and they are FREE!
