Frequently Asked Questions

Who can apply?
The goal of this program is to increase the employment of Hoosiers in the construction trades by preparing more minority Hoosiers for construction apprenticeship programs. The targeted populations are African-Americans and Hispanics.

What are the goals of this program?
The state is seeking the development of pre-apprenticeship programs that result in:

  • Successful placement and persistence of graduates in construction apprenticeships (both union and merit shops)
  • Successful placement of pre-apprenticeship candidates into entry-level jobs that will lead to better jobs in the future
  • Elevation of educational and skill levels of program participants

When will training get underway?
The initial round of training will get underway in November of 2006. The program will last until at least 2012.

How long will the training programs be available?
The General Assembly provided that up to $2 million per year be made available for the minority pre-apprenticeship training programs in each of the next six years, so the program is currently scheduled to operate through 2012. Initial training is scheduled to get underway in November of 2006, and another round of training will begin in early 2007.
