LA Urban League Opens Construction Career Academy

Los Angeles Urban League’s (Los Angeles, CA) new Construction Career Academy seeks to prepare students for union apprenticeships by focusing on passing the written and oral exams for entry into a trade union.

The training sessions will run for eight weeks and include 64 hours of instruction covering topics such as mathematics, interview techniques, workplace safety protocols, and skills to help candidates stay on the job and thrive in their new career.

“This program offers a unique entry point for people looking to get into a construction trade,” said Brian Williams, vice president and COO of Los Angeles Urban League. “Participants can learn a lot in a short amount of time and feel confident when they take their union entrance exams.”

The classes will be led by industry veterans James T. Mitchell and Amare El Jamii.
