Heart of Oregon Corps
The YouthBuild pre-apprenticeship model prepares young people to be qualified, competitive applicants for a registered apprenticeship program or to begin employment in the skilled trades. Students will build one affordable single-family home during their construction training at HOC YouthBuild. Participants receive daily coaching, mentorship and feedback concerning fundamental employment expectations of dependability, productivity, quality of work, and willingness to learn during jobsite and classroom instruction. Throughout the pre-apprenticeship, students complete a career portfolio including NCCER Core Curriculum Certificate of Completion, NCCER Blue Card, OSHA 10 Card, First Aid/CPR Card, high school diploma or GED, algebra competency, and diploma credits in construction trade skills.
