April 20, 2023
“We have a construction labor pipeline challenge in California,” said AGC of California CEO Peter Tateishi. “Everybody in the state’s construction industry — the owners, the general contractors and the trade unions — benefit from grant programs such as ERiCA, because the money goes to encouraging the next generation to pursue careers in construction.”
Part of its target market is made up of girls and women, non-binary people , former foster youth and other underserved populations between the ages of 12 to 24. “Build California plays a crucial role in building the California construction industry’s workforce pipeline to attract the next generation of construction workers,” said Tateishi in an announcement. “It presents construction as a career of first choice with well-paying jobs to young people who might not otherwise consider the industry because of misperceptions about who is welcome to work in construction.
The ERiCA grant will enable Build California to offer individual and customized career counseling services, with a goal of placing 150 workers per year in pre-apprenticeship or apprenticeship programs.Build California will collaborate with the programs to put on contractor-employer events to ensure program participants find job placement after they graduate.
