After an exciting first semester, UA Cossatot will continue to offer classes for its YouthBuild program beginning on Tuesday, January 19, 2021.  The deadline to enroll in the YouthBuild program for the spring semester is Friday, January 15, 2021.

YouthBuild programs provide educational training and occupational skill development to student’s ages 16 to 24.  In the program, students can choose two skill pathways to obtain employment in construction/carpentry or industrial maintenance/welding.  UA Cossatot became the second college in Arkansas to offer a YouthBuild program this year.

Depending upon class size, the construction/carpentry pathway will be offered in the morning, while the industrial maintenance/welding pathway will be available in the afternoon.

The program gives students the opportunity to learn hands-on experience while learning skills that can lead to future employment.  The program is also free to everyone enrolled and YouthBuild students will benefit from supportive services at UA Cossatot. 

UA Cossatot’s YouthBuild program gives students the opportunity to give back to their communities while volunteering and achieving experience they can use throughout their lifetime.  The college even provides job placement services to help YouthBuild students find an exciting career.
