The College of Southern Nevada and Prologis announced Friday a partnership to create the Building Nevada's Future Multi-Craft Pre-Apprenticeship Initiative. Prologis is contributing $250,000 to fund the program, which will operate at CSN's new Westside Educational Training Center.
The program will serve 80 residents each year through four eight-week sessions, providing 240 hours of hands-on training across nine construction trades including electrical, carpentry, plumbing and HVAC. Participants will prepare for industry credentials such as OSHA certification and receive career coaching and apprenticeship application support.
The Southern Nevada Building Trades Union and Nevada Contractors Association will help align training with industry needs and connect participants with employers and apprenticeship programs. Prologis' contribution will cover training, career coaching and support services including transportation, equipment and emergency assistance.
Program targets include an 80% completion rate, 90% credential attainment rate and 70% placement into apprenticeships or construction jobs within 60 days. Enrollment opens in November 2026, with the first day of class scheduled for Jan. 5, 2027.
Students interested in enrolling should email DWED.Navigators@CSN.EDU.
