HBI Announces New Partnership with YouthBuild USA
The Home Builders Institute (HBI) announced a new partnership with YouthBuild USA to provide nearly 200 U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) YouthBuild grantees with access to education resources and training for construction trade skills.
HBI and YouthBuild USA have partnered since 2003 to deliver quality career and technical education to students in YouthBuild's 46-state network of urban and rural programs. In the last decade, nearly 800 participants have earned HBI training certificates from YouthBuild programs.
This latest partnership seeks to strengthen the pipeline of those offerings, which will include:
- YouthBuild USA and HBI-conducted trainings of YouthBuild educators/staff
- Pre-Apprenticeship Certificate Training (PACT)-curriculum offerings
- Skilled trade certifications for program graduates
