ELITE + WDI Access for All

At ELITE COMPANIES, our dedication to the communities we serve extends far beyond the physical structures we build. We are deeply committed to fostering growth, driving positive change, and building sustainable futures. This commitment is at the heart of everything we do, blending the passion of our industry with the well-being of the communities where we live, work, and play. A key element of this mission is our focus on sustainability and workforce development, ensuring that the construction industry continues to thrive while our communities prosper.

The Workforce Development Institute: A Pathway to Sustainable Careers

Reflecting our community-centric values, ELITE COMPANIES proudly hosts the Workforce Development Institute’s Access for All program. This initiative is designed to bridge the gap between opportunity and success in the construction industry. The free, 300-hour construction trades training program equips participants with the skills and certifications needed to build rewarding careers. Through this program, we are not just creating jobs; we are creating sustainable futures for individuals and their families.

Access for All is more than a training program—it’s a lifeline for those seeking a stable and fulfilling career in construction. Recognizing that barriers like transportation and childcare can hinder success, we provide support for these essential needs, along with a stipend to cover expenses during training. By removing these obstacles, we empower participants to focus on their education and career development, helping them succeed and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Certifications and Career Opportunities

Participants in the Workforce Development Institute earn valuable credentials, including OSHA 30, First Aid/CPR, and Asbestos, Lead, and Silica Awareness certifications. Additionally, they receive a nationally recognized certificate from the North America’s Building Trades Union (NABTU), opening doors to numerous career opportunities in the construction industry. Our program offers more than just training; it provides a comprehensive pathway to employment, including career planning, job placement assistance, and ongoing occupational skills training.

For over 30 years, the Workforce Development Institute has been instrumental in helping thousands of workers complete their education and secure full-time employment. Our commitment to career planning, skills assessments, supportive services, and employability workshops ensures that graduates are not only prepared for their first job but are equipped for long-term success in the construction industry.
