Welcome to the Builder Grant Program

  • Six-week internship with a trade mentor

  • Focus: carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting and coating, and HVAC

  • $500 for each intern to use for tools & safety gear

We’re building skills and futures.

The Kitsap Building Association’s Builder Grant Program is targeted toward 18-24 year-olds who are not moving on to a four-year degree. The program provides opportunities in the home construction industry through six-week internships within the carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting and coating, and HVAC fields.

 

Students are teamed up with a trade mentor to help shepherd them through the learning process and gain real-life experience. In addition to onsite training, they receive $500 seed money for tools and safety gear—giving them a boost if they choose to seek full-time work in the trades at the end of the program.

 

Of the 62 interns participating in 2023, 38 secured a job in the construction industry. Interested in enrolling? Complete and submit our application.
