COMMUNITY

Proud Partner of the ReCycle North YouthBuild Program

The ReCycle North YouthBuild Program serves young women and men ages 16-24 and provides job-skills training and education programs for low-income youth who are ready to make positive changes in their life. Students in the program work towards obtaining their GED and gaining job-skills in the construction trade, while building affordable housing for the community.

Our partnership with YouthBuild includes support in the following areas:

Jobsite Tours: This opportunity gives the YouthBuild students the opportunity to experience a large scale commercial construction project and mechanical systems.

Job Shadow Opportunities: Students under 18 will be given the opportunity to job shadow any office position within our organization that will provide them with a behind the scenes view of construction management; including estimation, project management and engineering.

Students over the age of 18 are given the opportunity to job shadow a position in the office, the sheet metal fabrication shop or riding along side a Service Technician for the day. Or, these individuals can do a combination of office and field shadowing.

Interview and Resume Skills Training: This program provides an opportunity for students to participate in a session that focus on completing a job application, resume writing/feedback, pre and post interview conduct and ends with Mock Interviews. This program is designed to help students prepare to move from the classroom into productive careers.
