The Construction Apprentice Program will be recruiting in August for training programs open to men and women interested in gaining construction skills for jobs in the field.

The training, which leads to a Technical Certificate of Credit in Concrete Forming/Carpentry or Masonry, is free to adults (18 years and older) through a partnership among Chatham County, Savannah Technical College, and Step Up Savannah, Inc. There is no cost to participants for training, books or equipment.

The program includes assistance with job search for successful graduates.
