Summary
Grand Canyon University (GCU) and McCarthy Building Companies have launched a new pre-apprentice construction program aimed at expanding career opportunities in the construction industry. The program will include training in civil construction, mechanical/plumbing, HVAC, and concrete, supporting a pipeline of skilled talent for the trades.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This initiative highlights the growing importance of pre-apprenticeship programs as a vital pathway for individuals entering the construction workforce. By focusing on hands-on training and essential skills, such programs can effectively prepare students for successful careers in registered apprenticeships.
