Chattahoochee Technical College is partnering with the Construction Education Foundation of Georgia (CEFGA), HB NEXT, and Cobb WorkSource Georgia to offer Cobb County residents free training in the four-week, nationally accredited Construction Ready certification program to prepare participants for employment opportunities available in the construction industry.
There is an information session slated for Tuesday, July 16, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Building K at the Chattahoochee Tech Marietta Campus, which is located at 980 South Cobb Drive. These information sessions will be ongoing, and registration for them is available online at www.ConstructionReady.us.
Construction Ready program participants will participate in hands-on construction training and, upon graduation, will participate in a hiring fair that will connect them to some of Atlanta’s top construction companies. All classes will be held at the Chattahoochee Tech Marietta Campus, with lunch provided for program participants. Participants must be at least 18 years old, physically fit, and able to pass a drug screening and criminal background check. Construction Ready is a background friendly and drug-free program that gets participants trained, credentialed and back to work!
The Construction Ready program is being made available in Cobb County through the combined efforts of Chattahoochee Tech, CEFGA, HB NEXT and WorkSource Cobb. CEFGA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded by leading construction presidents and CEOs who recognized a need for quality construction skills training in Georgia. As Cobb County’s American Job Center, WorkSource Cobb provides access to a system of employment and education services for the Cobb County community. Headquartered in Atlanta, HB NEXT provides an extensive array of safety and environmental compliance services to construction companies, public/private utilities and numerous other industries.
