Simpson Strong-Tie and Habitat for Humanity Expand Construction Trades Program
Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, announced the expansion of its Construction Trades Support program with Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley. Formerly held once a year, program events will now take place twice yearly, with an expanded agenda that includes hands-on activities in the plumbing and electrical trades. The second leg of the program will expand on opportunities for participants who are highly motivated to pursue a trades career, and includes a build day with Habitat.
The goal of the program is to promote interest in the building trades as a viable and rewarding career path for youth and for individuals who have recently been out of the workforce.
