Northern Nevada Literacy Council was awarded Nevada’s only YouthBuild Program.
This program will provide youth ages 16-24 with the opportunity to achieve a high school equivalency certification, and complete the Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3) certification, at the same time.
The Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3) is a comprehensive pre-apprenticeship training curriculum. It was developed and approved by the Building Trades National Apprenticeship and Training Committee in 2008. In 2012, the U.S. Department of Labor awarded the Building Trades and the MC3 the Department’s Registered Apprenticeship Innovator and Trailblazer Award at its 75th Anniversary celebration.
The goal of the MC3 program is to provide information, education, and training to high school age students and other individuals about the construction industry and building trades registered apprenticeship career programs. The NNLC and YouthBuild will work to assist participants who obtain their High School Equivalency and MC3 Certification in finding registered apprenticeship programs and other construction related employment opportunities in northern Nevada.
