The program may also offer assistance with job placement and provide ongoing support for participants as they enter the workforce.

By offering specialized training and connecting individuals with career opportunities in the construction industry, the E2C Construction Skills program aims to address the workforce needs of the construction sector and provide individuals with pathways to meaningful and sustainable careers in construction.
