Career Outlook
The Highway Construction Careers Training Program (HCCTP)
introduces students to local Department of Labor apprenticeships. Information about some
of those opportunities can be found
on the BuiltUnion Apprenticeships page. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) encourages contractors to hire HCCTP
trainees on projects across the state. One large local project is the
Interstate
57/74 interchange reconstruction project
where several HCCTP graduates are
currently employed.
