Summary:
New Jersey’s construction industry, with more than 180,000 good-paying jobs and careers, is critical to the state’s economic future. Apprenticeships have long been the gold standard of career and technical education in construction, embracing the “earn while you learn” model. With technology changing the skill requirements of the construction industry, enhanced career pathways are needed to assist individuals to earn post-secondary degrees and credentials and to provide more high school students an on-ramp to a career in this industry.
