The highly-successful program is a partnership between Valencia College and Goodwill and is part of a five-year impact plan which creates pathways for young people. It has a strong pre-apprenticeship component that helps youth complete their high school or state equivalency degree programs, earn industry-recognized credentials and undergo training to build housing for low-income or homeless population. Valencia College has partnered with YouthBuild USA to educate and empower students and empowers them to become ethical young leaders who take responsibility for their career, families and communities.
