Institute at Enzweiler Building receives a $90,000 grant for Blueprint to Construction Training Program financing
The Blueprint to Construction Training Program, a new initiative aimed at providing scholarships, workforce training, and career pathways for disadvantaged high school students in Kenton and Campbell Counties, is set to launch in fall 2025.
This program, which will serve 30 students in its first year, is an investment from philanthropist Charles L. Shor and is designed to address the pressing workforce needs of the local construction industry in the region.
Five students will receive scholarships to participate in the Covington Academy of Heritage Trades, where they will gain hands-on experience in historic preservation and building restoration. The academy, located at EBI's Covington facility, will also serve as a historic 'living lab' project, with training taking place at the Colonial Inn building on Madison Avenue.
Training for the Heritage Trades participants will be provided through evening courses led by licensed industry professionals. The program offers education that leads directly to meaningful careers, as stated by Miller.
The program's goal remains unchanged: to accelerate opportunities for students to enter high-demand, high-paying careers. The training offered includes electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades.
The Enzweiler Building Institute (EBI), founded by Tasso Enzweiler, has been awarded a $90,000 grant from philanthropist Charles L. Shor for the new Blueprint to Construction Training Program. This grant will help ensure more students in the region can access this type of education.
Student recruitment for the Blueprint to Construction Training Program has already begun in River City school districts, including Covington, Ludlow, Newport, Dayton, Bellevue, and Holmes High School.
The program aims to strengthen communities by building futures for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. By providing scholarships, workforce training, and career pathways, it hopes to make a positive impact on the lives of these students and the local construction industry.
