UNION AFFILIATES AND PARTNERS

ribbon5.png

Our strongest partnerships are with the unions under the building and construction trades council. Unions provide a pathway to a career which will provide job security, financial stability, and benefits that are comparable to some of the largest private corporations.

 

Unions allow workers to hone and expand their skillsets without the burden of student debt and can even provide college credits if you choose to pursue an academic career.  

We work with some of the best unions to help ensure you find the right career path

Thank you to our partners for making this possible

Did we mention that we partner with some of the best companies in the industry

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATIONS

Every applicant must attend a New Student Orientation through Zoom prior to enrolling.  Attendance of a session does NOT secure the applicant a spot in the upcoming courses. Every Tuesday, we host a Virtual Orientation through Zoom. Sign up for our next orientation on the page labeled "Zoom Enrollment".

Through CEIs great partnerships we have had tremendous success placing our graduates on the Intuit Dome project in Inglewood, CA. Our ability to provide a pathway for our graduates to take part in such a historic project demonstrates just how big of a difference we can make. We recently had a cohort of 16 participants complete our training program in collaboration with the CDCR and GEO MCRP sites. As of today 15 of these participants have already started work as union construction trade members, the majority of which are currently working on the Intuit Dome project. A huge thank you to CDCR, GEO, Aecom, and Turner for making this a reality. Without their collaboration none of this would be possible. 

Congratulations to our graduates for being a part of this monumental achievement and for taking their first steps towards a new and prosperous career.
