Did you know that we host a construction internship for high school seniors from Gallup-McKinley County Schools? During the school year, GMCS seniors come 4 days a week to receive training in construction. Our instructors conduct hands-on training and classroom instruction through NCCER's CORE curriculum. We believe that training the next generation of workers is so important for the Gallup community and we are working to make it happen. We are always striving to grow this program, increase the quality of training, and give these students a vision and path for the future. If you have any questions or want to get involved, please reach out to our Program Director Tom Macik!
