Who We Are
The Multi-Craft Apprenticeship Preparation Program is a New York State not-for-profit organization. We are a Direct-Entry gateway into a career-track opportunity in the Construction industry. M.A.P.P., Inc. is a partner of the Rochester Building and Construction Trades Council and serve as one of its more visibly active Apprenticeship Readiness Program resources. We provide training in the real-world job-site experience, education and basic skills required to successfully become viable construction apprentices, to historically under-served populations -- particularly African American men and women, in the Rochester, NY area.
Our work contributes to the effort of meeting construction company hiring and contracting goals. M.A.P.P., Inc. addresses the local, long-standing and highly visible issues of the inequities in employment opportunities, in the construction industry, and works to afford participants a real and tangible career-track opportunity.
M.A.P.P., Inc. works to address the critical need for greater diversity amongst the construction industry workforce. Importantly, our Apprenticeship Readiness Program has effectively demonstrated to local, regional and statewide officials that the Rochester Building and Construction Trades Council is committed to diversifying the construction labor union workforce and to providing pathways to middle class, career-track opportunities to historically underserved and thereby underrepresented workers.
Our Albany-MAPP Training Center has opened and offers our the opportunity to a wider base of individuals.
The M.A.P.P. Staff
M.A.P.P., Inc. is fortunate to have two individuals whom possess industry and community development experience. In addition, they have the actual passion necessary to strive towards meeting the specific, overarching objective of extending viable career-track Building and Construction trade opportunities to the population the program serves.
