COBT Hammer Heads

Hammer Heads - Who We Are...

The Hammer Heads Program is a twelve week skill and employment-based training program that links young men and women from under-resourced communities to apprenticeship career opportunities in the construction industry that they might otherwise have difficulty accessing. Participants are exposed to multiple construction trades over the course of the program. There is hands-on learning at various affiliate training centres located across the GTA in addition to jobsite visits. Participants are provided with leadership and mentoring from seasoned construction workers with years of work experience and learn valuable skill sets which build self-confidence and promote positive self-awareness. Hammer Heads can link youth to twenty-eight different unions and the many major contractors connected to the Central Ontario Building Trades.
