Workforce Development Program
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
CBC Workforce Development will provide Chelsea residents with an opportunity to enroll in a free tuition training program (from the Peterson School or New England Laborers Union) that prepares students to enter skilled trades fields like HVAC, Construction, or Electric.
The apprenticeship will include both theory and hands-on training in some of the best classrooms and laboratories in the state. Upon completion, students are ready to take State License Exams and be gainfully employed in their field or enroll in the Massachusetts Laborer's Union.
THE MASSACHUSETTS & NEW ENGLAND LABORERS' DISTRICT COUNCIL
The Massachusetts and Northern New England Laborers’ District Council and its 30 affiliated Local Unions are proud to serve and represent over 20,000 hard working men and women across the Northeast.
Members of the Council’s affiliated construction unions build the homes, offices, roads, bridges, tunnels, highways and energy infrastructure that our region depends on. At the same time, members of affiliated public sector unions keep municipal governments, housing authorities, hospitals, schools, and cafeterias running year-round.
THE PETERSON SCHOOL
The Peterson School is dedicated to providing students with the most comprehensive training programs in the New England Area. The majority of our courses include both theory and hands-on training in laboratories. Students are fully prepared to take State License Exams and be gainfully employed in their field. The Peterson School is well aware that complete confidence comes only with experience. To meet that need, the Peterson School offers an innovative support system which is unique to this school only.
