31 Future Trades Professionals Take the Next Step Through ABCI

The recently concluded Ready, Set, Build! The Pre-Apprenticeship Program, which took place at the ABC Institute’s Coconut Creek campus, marked another strong step forward in workforce development. Out of more than 170 applicants, 31 students earned their place and successfully completed a week of hands-on training focused on employability, academic readiness, and core trade skills. Participants gained exposure to electrical fundamentals and blueprint reading, earned their OSHA 10 certification, and learned directly from industry professionals representing Priority Signs and Thermal Concepts.

All 31 participants met the program’s scholarship standards and have been awarded a full year of education at ABC Institute at no cost, made possible through grant funding. This outcome reinforces the program’s growing impact in building a skilled, job-ready workforce. With results like these, ABCI reaffirms its position as the leader in apprenticeship education provider in the State of Florida as we expand opportunities and strengthen the talent pipeline. Additional phases of the program are expected to be announced soon.
