By Jay adamsCEG CORRESPONDENT

Tina James, 34, a bartender and single mother ofthree, is replacing her bartender’s apron with a toolbelt. She will join an iron workers program in April,where she will learn how to reinforce iron and steelfor roads and bridges.James and dozens of other women and minorities

are entering the heavy iron construction industry, asthey share part of the benefits of a $350,000 grantfrom the federal government to fund a Rhode IslandDepartment of Transportation (RIDOT) job trainingprogram that will put a pool of female and minorityemployees smack dab in the middle of the state’shighway projects.Many are already trained and hired. Dozens more

will join them now. Since Building Futuresstarted in late 2007, it has placed 100 peopleto work in construction, people who likelynever would have gotten the chance other-wise.

Women and Minorities“The underutilization of women and

minorities on highway construction has beenrecognized for many years,” said BuildingFutures Director Andrew Cortés. “In fact, asstated by the Federal HighwayAdministration, the On-the-Job TrainingProgram requires State TransportationAgencies to establish apprenticeship andtraining programs targeted to move women,minorities and disadvantaged individuals intojourney-level positions to ensure that a com-petent workforce is available to meet high-way construction hiring needs, and to addressthe historical under-representation of thesegroups in highway construction skilledcrafts.”Cortés added that on “The ‘vertical’ or

‘building’ side of the construction industry, many of theemployers and trade unions that jointly operate high qualityRegistered Apprenticeship programs have taken significantsteps to address underrepresented populations in their pro-

grams. Our own RIDOT is now driving similar changes tothe ‘horizontal’ side of our industry through this excitingpartnership.”

Of the 100 Building Futures placements into RegisteredApprenticeship training and employment, 76 percent havebeen women and minorities.“Those one hundred placements started their careers in

nearly 60 different companies, which include both commer-cial building and highway contractors,” said Cortés . “On thehighway side of the industry, graduates have worked on proj-ects with many road contractors, such as Cardi Corporation,S&R/Phil Joint venture, D’Ambra Construction, ManafortBrothers Construction as well as Aetna Bridge and specialtycontractors such as Cosco and others.”

Graduates Tell Their StoriesAt a special ceremony on Feb. 13 at the training facility in

Providence, a coterie of top federal and state officials gath-ered to acknowledge the success of the Building Futures pro-gram. Gov. Lincoln Chafee, U.S. Sens. Jack Reed andSheldon Whitehouse, Rep. Jim Langevin, ProvidenceMayor Angel Tavares, RIDOT Director Michael P. Lewisand Peter W. Osborn of the Federal Highway Administrationall gave praise to the new faces of construction.Current and former students stood by to share their suc-

cess stories. Bartender James never imagined she would

swap a bow tie for a hard hat. At the event, she told local tel-evision station ABC 6 that she questioned her decision tobegin this odyssey from mixing cups to mixing concrete.“Really, construction? Are you sure, can your body take

it? Are you going to feel comfortable around the men? That’susually always the question,” James told the ABC 6 reporter.But her confidence is no longer mixed. “It taught me a lotabout myself, that I can do anything a man can do,” sheadded.This $350,000 federal grant funded by the American

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) gave James thechance to graduate from the program at Building Futures, allexpenses paid. “There’s just no limit, I think anything they throw at me I

can learn and I hope more women follow,” said James toABC 6.Curtney Davis addressed the high-powered gathering of

officials with a small speech which told how this job trainingprogram is truly working. Davis, an African-American, is aBuilding Futures graduate and member of Laborer’s Local271.“The training here at Building Futures couldn’t have been

more beneficial in helping to prepare me for what was tocome, out in the field. Without the hands-on training provid-ed in this program, I am absolutely sure that the transitioninto the construction world would’ve been more difficult tonavigate on my own,” said Davis. “Being accepted into the Laborers’ Local 271 was made

possible because of all of the hard work and planning thatwent into the construction training provided by this program.Being able to find a job, never mind a career, in today’s

“Doosan” is a registered trademark of Doosan Infracore Co., Ltd. | 23046

Being small enough to fit into less-

than-roomy spaces is great. So is a

tremendous amount of power. But if

that’s all an excavator has to offer,

it will never be a Doosan. Our new

smaller, but still powerful, DX140LCR is

a workhorse machine built to minimize

both downtime and operating costs.

It’s easy to maintain with centralized

grease points, convenient hose routing

and easy � lter replacement. It’s also as

durable as a tank, sips fuel and is so

comfortable you could almost live in it.

Now it’s easy to see that with Doosan,

you may be working in close quarters,

but you’re never in a tight spot.

Youth Success Inspired Adult Initiativeeconomy is nearly impossible withoutthe necessary skills. So I would like tothank all of the Building Futures staff,directly, for going above and beyond tomake this all possible,” he added.Davis called his newly acquired

skills “invaluable.”“I can recall working on the bridge

exercise while I was enrolled here atBuilding Futures. From pouring con-crete forms that the bridge sat on, toleveling the beams; it all prepared mefor my apprenticeship. As an appren-tice, one of my assignments was work-ing on a Rhode Island Department ofTransportation project where weremoved and rebuilt the bridge atMisquamicut State Beach in Westerly. Ihad a sense of comfort, because I didn’tfeel like I was going to be thrown to thewolves and eaten alive, now I wasblending in with the pack,” said Davis.“I felt like a career in the construc-

tion industry would be a good fit for mebecause I like working with my hands.Being able to look back on the workthat I have done makes me feel proud,and I now have a sense of accomplish-ment. I would like to thank all of my

fellow brothers and sisters for beinghere to help me out when I needed it,”he added

How It BeganBuilding Futures Director Cortés

was director of a comprehensive youthdevelopment program with a construc-tion focus, called YouthBuildProvidence.“During my tenure there, I saw a

need to provide pre-apprenticeshipservices at a more significant scale toaddress the underrepresentation in theconstruction trades while meeting thecurrent and future needs of the industry.Therefore, with two other partnerorganizations (Build RI and ProvPlan)we began the Building FuturesInitiative,” he said of its start.“We focused on increasing utiliza-

tion of registered apprenticeship oncurrent construction projects, whileproviding pre-apprenticeship servicesfor low-income, urban adults. One ofthe goals of this focus was also to par-tially address the complex problems ofinner city poverty by connecting RhodeIsland’s urban communities with fami-ly sustaining careers in the construction

industry. At the same time, the com-mercial construction industry has aneed to build a quality diverse work-force for the future. Building Futureswas conceived as construction industryintermediary to recruit and develop thesector’s talent development needsthrough a cohesive sector-based strate-gy,” he added.The 100 people already hired have

worked on Bridge 550 (Pawtucket, R.I.bridge, S&R/Phil project), TheWickford Junction Train Station(Manafort Brothers project), and manyothers.“By providing a pathway to a real

career in the construction trades, low-income minorities and women gain themeans for family sustaining wages — acareer placement in RegisteredApprenticeship for an individual canand does lift an entire family frompoverty,” said Cortés. “Not to mentionthat 90 percent of those we place areretained in their employment asapprentices — therefore, contractorsand trade unions are gaining a betterquality applicant which is a better useof their training dollars.”

Impact on Industry, EconomyViewed as Extremely PositiveThe longer-term economic benefits also

are significant. “Our industry’s constructiontrades workforce is aging and there is a chal-lenging skills gap in finding qualifiedreplacements — and from a generation 40percent smaller in numbers than the oneretiring. The competition for talent across allindustries is significant and ours faces imageproblems in the eyes of young people,” saidCortés. Building Futures designed TheARRA State Transportation EmploymentProgram (STEP) as a comprehensive andinteractive construction training and skillsdevelopment program tailored to the require-ments of RIDOT-related construction proj-ects. Training includes hands-on experienceand theory-based learning regarding manyaspects of transportation related projects.

Officials Praise Working Program“The FHWA is proud of the work that has

been done through this partnership andpleased to provide financial support throughthe American Recovery and ReinvestmentAct,” said Peter Osborn, the Rhode IslandDivision Administrator for FHWA. “In thesetough economic times creative programssuch as these are key to improving the eco-nomic conditions in Rhode Island andnationally. Building Futures and RIDOT areto be commended for training 55 minoritiesand women, diversifying our workforce, andpreparing them for RIDOT-related construc-tion jobs. That is a great return on our invest-ment.”“I commend Building Futures and the

Rhode Island Department of Transportationfor implementing a successful work trainingprogram for women and minorities,” echoedU.S. Sen. Jack Reed. “STEP demonstrateshow the federal government, with the help ofstate agencies working closely with commu-nity organizations, can not only improveRhode Island’s roads and bridges, but alsoprovide job seekers with the life-long skillsthey need to gain long-term employment.”Having begun in October 2010, this train-

ing program continues through May 2012,and is on target to graduate 55 low-incomeminorities and women. As of December2011, eight Building Futures graduates hadalready been placed on RIDOT job sitesthroughout the State, working on variousbridges and roadways.“RIDOT looks forward to placing more

Building Futures graduates on projectsthroughout Rhode Island,” said RIDOTDirector Michael P. Lewis. “We always wantto use the best trained workers and this pro-gram gives them the skills they need to getthe job done.”“The State Transportation Employment

Program is a great example of what we can

achieve when federal, state and communitypartners work together,” said Sen.Whitehouse. “I’m fighting hard to securefederal funding to help repair our crumblingroads and bridges, and this program will helpensure that we have an adequate workforceto meet our infrastructure needs.”By offering continued support after

employment, Building Futures has main-tained a 90 percent retention rate of its grad-uates through the critical first year of theirapprenticeship.“I am pleased that this collaboration

between RIDOT and Building Futures hasbeen so successful in producing well trainedand well prepared workers,” said Gov.Chafee. “This is a partnership that strength-ens both our workforce and our importantconstruction industry, and I look forward toits continued positive contributions to theRhode Island economy."“The skills gap has had a particularly sig-

nificant impact on our state, preventingmany individuals, especially those fromunderserved communities, from getting backto work,” said U.S. Congressman Langevin,who has taken a lead role on workforcedevelopment issues as co-chair of the bipar-tisan Congressional Career and TechnicalEducation Caucus. “This partnership pro-vides an excellent model by using RecoveryAct funding to create employment opportu-nities and develop a qualified workforce totake advantage of them.”To qualify for the program you have to be

a resident of the Ocean State and make under$24,000 a year.After the presentation and speeches,

guests were taken on a tour of the 10,000 sq.ft. training facility, the highlight of whichwas an 80-ft. section of a model highwaybridge being built by the current BuildingFutures class who also attended the event.The $138 million in 2009 ARRA funds

that Rhode Island received enabled RIDOTto increase the number of highway projectsconstructed from 2009-2010.The OJT/SS program is available to con-

tractors to ensure they can provide the criti-cal on-the-job training needed for minoritiesand women to develop careers in the con-struction industry, positioning them to be apart of the economic recovery process andthe transportation industry in general.For more information, contact Andrew L.
