From KSHB 41: There’s a new opportunity for people interested in working on the new terminal at Kansas City International Airport.
The Workforce Training Program is part of the community-benefits agreement. Participants will receive 120 hours of classroom training, a $400 weekly stipend, a RideKC pass for the duration of the program and child-care assistance.
Bridgette Williams, executive director of the Heavy Constructors Association of Greater Kansas City, said they are “recruiting individuals to come in a trade by the specific crafts that will be employed on the job at that time.”
Those interested are asked to bring a government-issued ID and be ready to complete an assessment and interview, if they meet the criteria. Those who are selected will receive a written offer by mail two weeks after the interview. A drug screen must be passed before entering the program. From there, a subcontractor will sponsor participants through the program and hire them as an apprentice after they complete the program successfully.
