Overview

Mission

Seeking to put god's love into action, habitat for humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope to realize our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

What it reported doing in 2024

Construction training program: the construction training program (ctp) is a workforce development initiative designed to prepare individuals regardless of prior experience for successful careers in the construction industry. Aligned with habitat for humanity's mission of building homes, communities, and hope, the program cultivates the next generation of skilled construction professionals through a blend of classroom instruction, hands-on lab practice, and on-site field experience. The ctp curriculum is based on the national center for construction education and research (nccer) standards, which have set the benchmark for construction education for nearly 30 years. Trainees earn nationally recognized and transferable credentials that are also stackable, allowing them to build upon their certifications as they continue their training and careers. Designed specifically for individuals with little to no construction experience, the program introduces participants to core construction concepts and skills. Beyond technical proficiency, the program emphasizes teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership traits essential for long-term success in the trades. Graduates of the program are equipped to pursue a variety of pathways including paid apprenticeships, employment in the construction field, service in the military, enrollment in advanced technical training programs, or continuing education at the college or university level. During fiscal year 2025, the construction training program served over 30 individuals, with 25 graduating. In addition, we placed 18 of the graduates.
