YouthBuild - is a non-residential, commu

nity-based alternative education program that provides classroom instruction and occupational skills training to youth ages 16 to 24 who have been in the juvenile justice system, are aging out of foster care, have dropped out of high school or are otherwise at-risk of failing to reach key educational and career milestones. The classroom training component leads to a high school diploma, general education development or other state-recognized equivalency diploma. The occupational skills training component provides YouthBuild participants with industry-recognized certifications in construction or other in-demand occupations, such as health care and information technology. Leadership development and community service are also key elements of the YouthBuild program, helping to ensure that participants maintain a connection to their communities through public service and volunteerism.

The Jobs Funnel, a Capital Workforce Partners initiative, is a pre-employment preparation, job training and placement service for residents of the Greater Hartford, New Britain and Bristol regions seeking employment in the construction field and related trades. The idea of the funnel stems from the process individuals go through –funneling into the system to gain specific work competencies and trade-related certifications. They then funnel out to embark on a self-sustaining and rewarding career journey. North Central Connecticut Jobs Funnel initiatives have trained over 2,500 workers in the past 12 years, many of whom have built the cityscapes and infrastructure throughout the region including the Connecticut Science Center and Convention Center.
