HomeAid San Diego is proud to celebrate the graduation of Cohort 14 from our WORKS Construction Training Program!
This cohort is a great example of what can happen when nonprofit and community partners work together to remove barriers and create greater access to opportunity.
Our partnership with Project Next played an integral role in making Cohort 14 possible. When transportation challenges made it difficult for students to access WORKS at our traditional training location, we worked together to bring the program directly to the students. A special thank you to Amanda Morales, Program Manager at Project Next, for her partnership, coordination and commitment throughout the program.
It’s been rewarding to watch our students learn, grow and build skills they can carry into the workforce. They gained hands-on exposure to construction, developed workplace readiness and financial literacy skills, connected with industry professionals, explored career pathways, and earned their WORKS certificates.
Thank you to HomeAid San Diego Board Members Craig Perry and Staci Reidinger for joining us to celebrate, and to our industry and community partners, guest speakers, and everyone who helped make Cohort 14 possible, including our program sponsors Bank of America, Lennar San Diego, MascoCorp, Resource Innovations, Sherwin-Williams, Sundt Construction, Inc., and Toll Brothers.
Most importantly, congratulations to our graduates! We are proud of what you accomplished and excited to see where you go next!
