New infrastructure don’t just appear. It requires a skilled workforce. So, as the Central New York region grows, we’ll need more people in building trades careers to construct and maintain all that we need. And to grow equitably, it’s vital that the workforce is representative of our entire community.
Women and people of color are traditionally underrepresented in the building trades. But if more people from these populations can access training and activate their potential, an entirely new talent pipeline could be created for the industry. Syracuse Build’s Pathways to Apprenticeship program does just that by creating more access and exposure to careers in the building trades to women and people of color in the city of Syracuse.
CenterState CEO’s Work Train staff helped to develop the program, and now Ebony Farrow serves as the Pathways to Apprenticeship program manager. She’s played a vital role in the program’s development, has helped to lead 6 cohorts to completion and is planning and recruiting for the next. She joins Talk CNY, presented by NBT Bank, to discuss the program’s successes and its community impact.
