This project aims to serve the national interest by connecting underserved populations with education and careers in advanced building technology. The project brings together a collaboration of community-based organizations, the City of Milwaukee, local industry partners and Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) to support the technical career advancement of students from underserved areas of the city. The project addresses the need for advanced technology education and improved career opportunities for underserved communities and will address the urgent employment needs of local industry. The building sector faces numerous challenges including increased health concerns, energy efficiency goals, management of new technologies and high workforce attrition. The project seeks to increase the pool of skilled technicians ready to maintain the ever-changing and complex technology in buildings.The project has two fundamental goals: (1) meet the industry need for skilled advanced building technicians and (2) increase the recruitment and retention of students from underserved communities. Industry has supported MATC in the development of a diploma program, four digital badges, a pre-apprenticeship and an apprenticeship program to provide students with the skills needed and multiple pathways into employment. The digital badges are stepping stones to the diploma, and the pre-apprenticeship creates a separate pathway. Both provide a pathway to associate degrees such as the Individualized Technical Studies degree. To address the needs of underserved communities and improve retention, local industry has committed to hiring these students in paid internships as they continue in the program. The project will combine community-based outreach and case management efforts with local government funded support for child care, transportation and subsistence. The project will provide workshops in the community to expose participants to career opportunities in advanced building technologies through hands-on lab activities, career information and job prospects. As underserved participants enter the program at MATC they will benefit from support services provided by the City of Milwaukee, community based organizations, local employers, and MATC’s success coaches and other services. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the Nation's economyThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在通过将服务不足的人群与先进建筑技术的教育和职业联系起来，服务于国家利益。该项目汇集了社区组织、密尔沃基市、当地行业合作伙伴和密尔沃基地区技术学院 (MATC) 的合作，以实现国家利益。支持该市服务欠缺地区学生的技术职业发展，满足服务欠缺社区对先进技术教育和改善职业机会的需求，并将解决当地工业面临的众多挑战，包括提高健康水平。关注、能源效率目标、新技术管理和大量劳动力该项目旨在增加熟练技术人员的储备，以维护建筑中不断变化和复杂的技术。该项目有两个基本目标：(1) 满足行业对熟练的高级建筑技术人员的需求，(2) 增加行业支持 MATC 开发文凭课程、四个数字徽章、一个学徒前计划和一个学徒计划，为学生提供所需的技能和多种就业途径。文凭的垫脚石，两者都提供了获得副学士学位的途径，例如个性化技术研究学位。为了满足服务不足的社区的需求并提高保留率，当地工业界致力于雇用这些学生继续带薪实习。该项目将把基于社区的外展和案例管理工作与当地政府资助的儿童保育、交通和生计支持结合起来。该项目将在社区举办研讨会，让参与者通过实践获得先进建筑技术的职业机会。关于实验室活动、职业信息和工作当服务不足的参与者进入 MATC 计划时，他们将受益于密尔沃基市、社区组织、当地雇主以及 MATC 的成功教练和其他服务提供的支持服务。该项目由重点关注的高级技术教育计划资助。该奖项旨在促进国家经济发展的先进技术领域的技术人员教育。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
