13 Projects. More Opportunities. Stronger Communities.

California is investing in the workforce needed to build its future.

Through the High Road Construction Careers (HRCC) program, new funding is increasing access to good-paying construction careers across the state.

In partnership with Caltrans HQ, these investments strengthen apprenticeship and training pathways that connect more Californians – including those facing barriers to employment – to family-sustaining careers in the construction trades.

This round of funding supports 13 projects statewide, helping grow the skilled workforce needed to deliver critical infrastructure projects that keep communities moving and connected.

Congratulations to the organizations leading this important work across California.

Additional funding will be awarded later this year. Learn more about HRCC and stay tuned for future funding opportunities. https://tinyurl.com/ytzaputm

The 120-hour program provided a structured pathway to culinary careers, equipping participants with the skills needed for success in the workplace.
