About the Construct a Career Initiative
The Construct a Career Initiative aims to raise awareness and increase access to state-registered apprenticeships in the building and construction trades. The Construct a Career team works closely with our Building and Construction Trades Unions and their affiliated apprenticeship programs to create a robust and well-rounded workforce.
As part of the program, Construct a Career has several Apprenticeship Navigators located strategically throughout Washington State. Through targeted outreach, wrap-around support, and strategic engagement, our Apprenticeship Navigators work with individuals seeking opportunities to get into the trades and serve as a conduit between individuals the various apprenticeship programs. If a participant is eligible and in need of services, our Navigators will work closely to identify and remove barriers and when needed, provide resources and financial support to ensure successful application, enrollment, and retention for new apprentices
