Construction Career Collaborative Wins National Award

The Greater Cincinnati Construction Career Pathway Collaborative, an initiative to promote construction training and careers, was recognized nationally Nov. 8 by the Construction Users Roundtable (CURT) with a Workforce Development Award.

The Pathway Collaborative, a partnership between the Southwest Ohio Region Workforce Investment Board (SWORWIB) and the Greater Cincinnati Workforce Network (GCWN), is a holistic approach to promoting construction careers for low-skilled adult workers as well as middle and high school students.


"We selected the Greater Cincinnati Construction Career Pathway Collaborative for a Workforce Development Award because of its focus on effective partnerships to provide exemplary and innovative recruitment, training and education programs," says Eddie Clayton, Workforce Development Committee Chairman of CURT.
