The Community Services Agency on Monday was notified of the award of two grants totaling $305,000. Both grants will support CSA's Building Futures Construction Pre-Apprenticeship Training program, which helps low-income DC residents break into apprenticeships and jobs in the trades. The United Planning Organization grant is a renewal for a fifth year, while the DC Department of Employment Services Pre-Apprenticeship Grant is new this year. "This wonderful news is only possible because of the fabulous job our Building Futures staff-- program coordinator Sylvia Casaro-Dietert, case manager Jennifer Gajdosik, and job developer Tia Watkins -- do day in and day out with the program and its clients," said CSA Executive Director Kathleen McKirchy. "Combined with the support we receive from the unionized building trades and our other partners, this has made for a winning program that gets people into good stable jobs and careers."
