Worker and Activist Training

The ULA works closely with the Cleveland Municipal School District, with unions in the building trades and with Hard Hatted Women to introduce the skilled trades to male and female high school students as a potential career choice, and provide them with information about how they can enter into skilled trades apprenticeship programs. The ULA works with YO! Cleveland to provide job shadowing experiences for out-of-school youth that will help them develop career goals. The ULA places some of these young people in pre-apprenticeship construction programs through the ULA’s Home Maintenance Assistance Program.

The ULA is working to increase voter registration and voting among young people. The ULA works with unions, young people, social justice organizations and churches to help eliminate child labor abuse in the United States and around the world. The ULA welcomes volunteers who would like to work on either of these projects. Those interested should call the ULA and ask for the School-To-Work Coordinator.
