On a continuous basis, we offer funding to eligible WOMEN and MINORITY MALES to help with the cost of classroom training for those who are already working in, or who are interested in employment in the highway construction industry.

Eligible females and minority males will have the opportunity to take classes at Associated General Contractors of Vermont for $25 per class! VTrans will pay the balance with funding from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

Registration deadline for all classes is one week prior to the class. Space is limited, so please register as soon as possible. Register for as many classes as you would like!

Please send your completed Registration Form and a check in the amount of $25 (per class selected) made payable to AGC-VT in an envelope addressed to Melanie Lopez (address below).
 

Take a look at the 2013 Course Catalogue to see what training is available! Use the above Registration form to secure your seat in class!
Please note: There is an error in the catalog - AGC/AOT Heavy Equipment Training will not be offered in 2013.

For the purpose of diversifying the workforce in highway construction, the term eligible "minority" refers to both females of any ethnicity and males of any ethnic group that have historically faced discrimination or systemic socio-economic disadvantage, so much that there is a noticeable lack of diversity in the industry. The program is funded by the Federal Highway Administration and is a direct result of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, for the purpose of advancing non-discrimination and creating equal opportunity.
