Construction Job Training Program
Memphis United is committed to helping tomorrow's youth build a sustainable middle class income that will allow for our communities to be strong, vibrant, and well skilled. Memphis United has done it's research on the construction industry:
​
The Construction sector has grown significantly over the last five years through 2024, with recently high interest rates not fully eroding previous years' gains in the real estate market. Construction sector operators have began to construct buildings and engineer projects across a wide range of industries and applications. The construction sector revenue tends to mirror what's going on with the economy as a whole in the world. Prior to 2022, the sector benefited from low interest rates, providing an accommodative borrowing environment for both residential consumers and builders but the shortage of real estate has begun to explode the need for skilled construction workers to build and maintain residential and commercial properties.
​
Memphis United is a nonprofit with vision and a finger on the pulse of the needs of our community and the economic plight of the world....and this is why we established this program.
Testimonial
​
"After the first week this program stretched my goals and pushed me to my limits. I was afraid of raising the bar, scared of failing, and I refused to take the initiative of anything. Julius, would NOT accept that! He showed me my true potential. This changed my goals from being a cook in a restaurant to becoming a plumbing journeyman, then a general contractor, to launching my own construction and real estate company. Thanks Memphis United....you changed my life!" Monteza
