YouthBuild is a U.S. Department of Labor program designed to help young adults build the education, skills, confidence, and experience they need to move toward a career and a brighter future. Whether you're looking to earn your High School Equivalency, learn a skilled trade, gain work experience, or figure out what's next—YouthBuild can help you get there.


YouthBuild Can Help You:

  • Work toward your High School Equivalency

  • Learn hands-on construction skills

  • Earn industry-recognized certifications, including NCCER and OSHA-10

  • Prepare for a job, apprenticeship, or career

  • Receive one-on-one coaching and support

Learn. Build. Grow.​

YouthBuild combines education, hands-on construction training, career development, and

personalized support in one program.
