“Or something else?”
Good question.
From the page on curriculum:
“Multi-craft core curriculumThe Multi-Craft Core Curriculum is an innovative training curriculum that provides a gateway from high school or community college to joint industry registered apprenticeships in the Building and Construction Trades Department (BCTD), AFL-CIO. This establishes, for the first time, standardized pre-apprenticeship for entry into any one of the building trades. The Emerald Cities Collaborative (ECC) is excited about the possibilities that this Core Curriculum provides marginalized communities, community-based workforce training programs, and other Emerald Cities partners. Already, ECC members have begun to work with the BCTD to explore delivery options to provide disadvantaged youth and entry-level workers access to this training. The BCTD has pledged to building these partnerships in cities and with organizations that commit to Emerald Cities.
The Core Curriculum combines the courses common to all building trades apprenticeship programs without regard to a particular craft. These courses are: general orientation to apprenticeship; cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid; the OSHA 10 hour certification course; blueprint reading; applied mathematics for construction applications; history of the construction industry and the heritage of the American worker. The general orientation course includes construction industry structure and the construction process; orientation to apprenticeship itself; tools of the various trades and the safe handling of both hand and power tools; industry standards of work responsibility and craft excellence.
The Core Curriculum can be taught as a free-standing course or as part of a larger training program.”
