The Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration awarded Miami Dade College $2,277,000 under the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) program on July 20, 2022. The funding will support renovating a building at the College's North Campus in North Miami, Florida to serve as the Construction Trade Institute workforce training facility. The Institute will offer hands-on learning and certifications in high-demand construction trades to 120 students annually. Training will facilitate entry-level paid apprenticeships or permanent employment leading to high-skill, high-wage careers in construction and unionized jobs. Once completed, the project is expected to attract new industries, create jobs, increase global competitiveness, and promote economic resiliency in the region.
