The Illinois Department of Transportation, through the Illinois Community
College Board (ICCB), has established a
Highway
Construction Careers Training Program through the following community
colleges. Also view HCCTP News.
Each community college will hold 8-week sessions (2-3 sessions per academic
year) in which minorities, women and disadvantaged individuals will receive
intensive training in highway construction-related skills, e.g., math for the
trades, job readiness, technical skills coursework (carpentry, concrete
flatwork, blueprint reading, site plans, site work, tools use, etc.) and OSHA 10
certification.
