Community Works Pre-Apprenticeship Program

Funded by the MassDOT

Community Works, along with a handful of other pre-apprenticeship programs across Massachusetts, has been funded by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation since 2017. Our partnership with MassDOT has graduated dozens of new construction and transportation workers.
