Program

This is an Initiative we developed to build capacity for groups that are experiencing challenges with access to resources in the local construction market. With a focus on Education, Training, Technical Assistance, and Growth Opportunities that can be made available with capacity building programs. 

We recognize that vibrant cities and real estate development would not be possible without Skilled Labor & Contractor services, yet too often, these groups experience language or communication barriers, and are intimidated by technical or municipal requirements or processes.

Vamos seeks to create a pathway to resources by leveraging collaborations with local organizations that can help us curtail access to opportunity and project success for construction contractors. By meeting the greatest need for this community, offering training and education in their language, teaching material at their pace, and on their availability, usually evenings or weekends.

Who we built this for

Local Contracting Firms and Professionals with a combination of:

• 2+ yR experience in Skilled Labor, Contracting, or Project management
• Womxn or Young Entrepreneurs with 2+ yR industry experience
• Individuals who’s first language is Spanish
• firms with annual revenues of less than $200K (VCP-LVL I)
• firms with annual revenues of $200K – $1m or are on course to reach $2m WITHIN the next 2 yR (VCP-LVL II)
