WHAT IS SOCIAL ENTERPRISE.
A social enterprise is an organization that uses common business practices, but instead of having profit as the primary goal, uses social objectives (e.g. the environment, community needs, social justice) as their primary purpose.
TRAINING PROGRAMS.
THE SIX-MONTH TRAINING PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Our paid training program is designed for people most employers (and social service agencies) would deem “unemployable”. Few trainees hired by BUILD have completed high school, and few have worked in the formal labour market. Many trainees have had contact with the criminal justice system, some are struggling with addictions, and many have unstable home environments. Most often, trainees do not have a driver’s license, and most have no prior experience using tools or even a measuring tape. These are basic requirements for entry into the construction trades.
Our journeymen and trainers provide hard skills training and mentorship to trainees – offering a supportive environment for trainees to learn and grow.
