Programs and Pathways

Syracuse Build connects residents to high-quality training opportunities that lead directly to construction careers. Working with local training providers, unions, and community organizations, Syracuse Build helps participants gain the skills, certifications and industry connections needed to enter and advance in the construction trades.

Syracuse Pathways to Apprenticeship

Developed in partnership with the Central Northern New York Building and Construction Trades Council, Pathways is an Apprenticeship Readiness Program (ARP) that prepares participants for entry into registered union apprenticeship programs. The curriculum includes hands-on learning, safety training, and mentorship from local union members, giving participants the foundational knowledge and experience needed to begin a career in the skilled trades.

Each year, Syracuse Build operates two adult cohorts and one youth cohort. The adult program consists of 11 weeks of hourly paid training totaling 220 hours, with classes held Monday through Thursday from 3:00 to 8:00 p.m. The youth program is offered in partnership with the Syracuse City School District during the summer and introduces students to construction careers through hands-on learning, field experiences, and exposure to the building trades.

Through the Pathways to Apprenticeship program, participants build essential trade skills, develop jobsite readiness, and gain exposure to multiple construction crafts. Graduates are supported in applying to registered apprenticeship programs and transitioning into careers with union contractors across Central New York.
