Homes by Avi invests $500,000 for students in construction trades programs
In an effort to tackle the skilled trades shortage and support the residential construction industry in their region, BILD Edmonton Metro member Homes by Avi made a five-year, $500,000 investment to support students considering post-secondary studies at Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT)’s School of Construction and Building Sciences.
The funding will provide students who have participated in the Homes by Avi Construction Program at M.E. LaZerte, a local high school, with priority access to financial support to enroll in one of 13 eligible skilled trades programs at NAIT. As a result of the contribution, the students have already started to make their mark, building the first floor of a two-storey home that will be sold to an Edmonton home buyer, with the proceeds funneled back into the high school to continue this exciting initiative.
