NORTH BAY CONSTRUCTION CORPS - Marin Class
Sponsored by Mario Ghilotti Family Foundation
This program places well-trained and prepared high school seniors directly into the construction industry with local Marin Builders Association fi rms at the end of each class cycle. Students receive 50 hours of instruction and project-based learning opportunities. Each cohort concludes with a 2-week, on-site construction bootcamp followed by a hiring fair and possible job placement.
The class was an extremely practical experience that has better prepared me for any construction related career path.

A partnership between the Marin Builders Association, College of Marin, Canal Alliance, and CareerPoint Marin
In response to the North Bay’s high demand for skilled construction workers, the Marin Builders Association and our partners launched a new construction training program in late 2018. This construction training program targets entry-level prospects and provides the basic skills for success in the construction industry. In addition to technical skills, the program also provides job placement services and career, fi nancial, and personal support to help ensure long-term career success.
Training the future leaders in our industry has never been more important. Mario Ghilotti’s vision was to encourage and assist the next generation to get into construction and the trades. We are so pleased with our partnership with Marin Builders Association, helping to bring the North Bay Construction Corps to students in Marin.
