The Sacramento-Sierra Building and Construction Trades Council (SSBCTC) is a performance- based organization providing contractors with the highest skilled and trained workforce in the construction industry completing projects on time and under budget. Founded 47 years ago, SSBCTC represents more than 15,000 union construction workers in the Sacramento, Amador, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sierra and Yolo counties. “As a multi-employer resource department our goal is to improve, enhance, and enrich the lives of working men and women of Labor by being the best trained and most productive workforce in the industry. We continue to build partnerships with developers and contractors as a testament to the fact that we remain the BEST choice for any construction project.” says Kevin Ferreira, Executive Director of SSBCTC.
People Working Together (PWT) strategically partners with like-minded organizations to provide career opportunities, ensure job/career readiness, and to meet the holistic needs for those served. This partnership model with the Sacramento-Sierra Building and Construction Trades Council (SSBCTC) offers priority services to targeted underserved communities (area codes 95652, 95660, 95811, 95814, 95815, 95817, 95820, 95823, 95824, 95838) to prepare them for the SSBCTC Apprenticeship Program. PWT focuses on uniting people across all races and cultures to gain a new direction and greater purpose by providing access to educational opportunities enabling students to develop knowledge and skills necessary to achieve professional goals, provide leadership and service to their communities with a primary focus on those reentering society. Together, SSBCTC and PWT offer a readiness program focused on North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) nationally recognized Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3), a standardized, comprehensive, 120-hour construction course designed to help young people and transitioning adults choose and succeed in apprenticeship programs that are appropriate for them.
Certified by a number of State Education Departments, MC3 is bringing true construction education back into high schools. Upon completion of the program, participants will be knowledgeable in the nine areas of focus related to the MC3 to include: Construction Industry Orientation, Tools and Materials, Construction Health and Safety (including OSHA 10 and CPR), Blueprint Reading, Basic Math for Construction, Heritage of the American Worker, Diversity in the Construction Industry and Green Construction.
