Union Construction Career Pathways Virtual Workshops, Facilitated Trinal, Inc. Workshop#1

by | May 16, 2022 |

Trinal, Inc. was tasked with facilitating and administrating a virtual workshop which specifically connected individuals seeking career opportunities into the railway and general building construction industry with union representatives working on the Chicago Region Environmental and Transportation Efficiency (CREATE) Program. The CREATE program is a partnership between the U.S. DOT, State of Illinois, Cook County, City of Chicago, Metra, Amtrak and the nation’s freight railroads. CREATE will invest billions of dollars in critically needed improvements to increase the efficiency of Illinois’ regional passenger and freight rail infrastructure.

The workshop was hosted by the CREATE Program partners to educate participants on the various career pathways into union construction career opportunities on the 75th St. CIP and other relevant projects. The workshop informed the attendees that many of the contractors that will be working on the CREATE project will be signatories to the various unions and the educational and financial benefits offered through pre-apprentice and union apprenticeship programs were discussed. See the attached “Union Construction Career Pathway to the Union” Presentation.

On May 7, 2019, hundreds gathered at the west-side’s Breakthrough FamilyPlex to learn of contracting opportunities on the NAB project.

The NAB will be a destination cancer center and neurological care center. The proposed building will be approximately 487,591 GSF, targeting LEED Gold and is anticipated to be a 10 story bldg. There will be an adjoining bridge at the 4th floor to the RUMC Tower, across Ashland Avenue. An approximate 1,000 car, above-grade parking garage will also interface directly with the building.

RUMC is excited about this project because it will further demonstrate its commitment, as an anchor institution on the West Side of Chicago, to improving economic vitality, well­being and community health through cross-sector and community partnerships.
