Home Builders Institute's Schools to Skills Grant Application Open Through December
Applications for Home Builders Institute’s Schools to Skills Grant application is now open through Dec. 20, 2024, according to the National Association of Home Builders. With the goal of giving more students with the option to enter the residential construction industry, the grant provides schools with needed resources to implement HBI’s Pre-Apprenticeship Certificate Training (PACT) program. The PACT curriculum prepares students for careers in construction trades, and the grant covers curriculum materials, educator training, student assessments, and ongoing support.
HBI’s PACT curriculum is one of only three national programs recognized and approved by the U.S. Department of Labor and many state education departments. In addition, PACT helps students gain valuable skills and connections to the local building industry, with support from NAHB and its local and state associations.
