In partnership with the College of Southern Maryland, Building Paths consists of both construction pre-apprenticeship credentialing and professional development training. The program is designed to ensure participants are equipped with the technical know-how to enter the construction and skilled trades field through a job or apprenticeship program.
Melwood’s Building Paths is a 14-week program offered in partnership with the College of Southern Maryland (CSM) through their Workforce Center and the Maryland Center for Environmental Training. Training is held at the Melwood Country Lane campus in Waldorf, Maryland and at the CSM campus in Hughesville. College coursework is delivered online with in-person facilitation. Additionally, there is an in-person Construction Core Lab class designed to develop construction trade application skills. The college training will follow the CSM construction pre-apprenticeship credentialing. A post-instruction career development phase follows the 14-week instruction.
