HBACEF is seeking funding for the PACT Program, which is the pre-apprenticeship curriculum ideally suited for school-based instruction. Vetted by subject matter experts, PACT guarantees students will learn residential construction focused skills, receive hands-on training, and master the knowledge needed for employment in an entry-level job in the building industry. HBACEF is working with Mayfield School District in Ohio for a pilot program to help high school students learn trade skills.

Classes are 75% hands-on and are competency-based and industry validated. They are aligned with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). In addition, it is one of three national curricula recognized and approved by the U.S. Department of Labor and several states’ Departments of Education. PACT offers curriculum in nine trade specific disciplines: carpentry, electrical, plumbing, brick masonry, landscaping, painting and finishing, building construction technology, weatherization, and HVAC. Access to HBI’s Learning Management System (LMS) a web-based platform of training tools and content to assist the instructor and student with the curriculum.
