Support for Construction Training in Rural and Underserved Areas
This act aims to increase the number of skilled workers in residential construction, especially in rural areas and for underrepresented groups. Citizens will gain access to new training programs and employment opportunities, potentially leading to increased housing availability.
Key points
Colleges and trade schools will receive grants to create or expand residential construction training programs.
Programs will be accessible to incumbent workers, rural residents, youth, and underrepresented populations in the construction industry.
Training will cover a wide range of skills, from carpentry to construction management, and offer flexible schedules (e.g., evening, online classes).
The act seeks to increase the supply of affordable housing by boosting the skilled construction workforce.
