With two historic construction projects underway, the redevelopment of the I-81 interchange and the construction of Micron Technology’s semiconductor manufacturing plant, demand is high for skilled trade workers in Onondaga County.

CCA is working to ensure that people returning home from incarceration have the training and support necessary to access these exciting career opportunities.

In partnership with education providers Onondaga-Cortland-Madison Board of Cooperative Educational Services, Syracuse University, and the building trades, CCA connects people to training programs in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, welding, and other trades. These programs equip participants with the skills needed to access tens of thousands of high-wage jobs with decades-long career potential.
