Deadline approaches for ‘Construction Ready’ sessions in Cobb

Construction Ready Cobb sessions
Construction Ready—formerly known as the The Construction Education Foundation of Georgia—is holding construction education sessions in Cobb County in February and March.

The deadline to sign up is Monday, Jan. 10, for the 20-day program, which includes training, credentialing and job placement. The training is free to eligible applicants.

Classes will take place Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 5 p.m., starting of Feb. 21 and ending March 18.

The Cobb classes will be held at the Construction Ready offices located at 1940 The Exchange SE, Suite 200, Marietta. For more information and to register, please click here.

Construction Ready says that “the need for skilleed workers has continued through the pandemic,” with several thousand construction job openings existing currently in Cobb County.

Partial funding for the program comes from the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) fund, a part of the federal CARES Act. CEFGA received $3.3. million to expand Construction Ready, and the GEER funding also supports broadband and connectivity extensions, mental health services, workforce training, childcare, and tech innovation.
