Construction-Coaching Opportunities to Reach Employment (C-CORE)

The Builders Association of Northern Nevada has partnered with the Home Builders Institute (HBI) to provide mentoring services for underserved youth as part of the Construction-Coaching Opportunities to Reach Employment (C-CORE) program. Funded by a three year grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, the industry sponsored C-CORE mentoring program matches youth aged 16 to 18 with mentors recruited from the greater home building community, from carpenters and contractors to real estate agents and appraisers.
