Fast Track Program
NCCER and CareerSafe want to help Americans find careers that build a better tomorrow. Training and credentials that lead to job placement and fulfilling career pathways are essential to our success as a nation. Our hospitals, community centers, schools, office buildings, infrastructure, and more depend on a trained, qualified workforce committed to safety, quality, and production.
The goal of our Fast Track program is to recruit underemployed or unemployed individuals into the construction industry and provide them with training, credentials and jobs that lead to high demand, sustainable careers.
