The San Francisco Department of Human Services will provide funds for the San Francisco Construction & Maritime Center.  This program meets the needs of low-income residents as well as the demand from industry for trained construction and maritime workers.  CCSF will use part of these funds to remodel the current  construction and trade skill shops and classrooms at Evans campus. Furthermore, the grant will provide funding to purchase additional construction equipment for the training program.  The CCSF School of Applied Technology and the Evans Campus will also work with community based organizations who will provide referrals and support services as well as find placements for students completing the program.  The Center will work with industry and trade union leaders to help us identify the skills and knowledge needed by current and future workers.  This will allow the college to update its curriculum to accommodate those needs.
