Event Description
Governor Katie Hobbs and the Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) announced that the BuildItAZ Apprenticeship Initiative, a signature effort that aims to create a robust construction talent pipeline and pathways to family-sustaining jobs, has helped connect nearly 3,000 Arizonans to apprenticeships. Governor Hobbs also announced the recipients of the second round of BuildItAZ grants, which include seven construction and trades registered apprenticeship programs across the state. These grants, which total more than $1 million, will expand training program capacity to connect more Arizonans to industry-led, construction career pathways.
