About Us
Building a resilient workforce in the construction trades
The Community Trades Resiliency Partnership (CTRP) is a workforce development program that prepares candidates for careers in technical construction trades. Focused on inspiring non-college-bound African American males, CTRP partners with local contractors in fields like electrical, plumbing, carpentry, welding, and pipefitting.
​
By providing comprehensive support services, CTRP ensures participants are career-ready in a safe and supportive environment. This Section 501(c)(3) organization not only teaches technical skills but also essential life skills like financial literacy, communication, resilience, time management, and interpersonal skills.
​
The 18-month program helps trainees pass licensing certifications and build a sense of community. Participants live together, share experiences, and foster alliances, creating a strong support network. CTRP aims to address workforce shortages, promote diversity, and empower marginalized communities for long-term success.
