NEI General Contracting expands affordable housing and trades training in Massachusetts
What happened
NEI General Contracting began constructing affordable housing units in Massachusetts. The company also operates the nonprofit WORC2 training center in Roxbury. This center was established four years ago to address a gap in trades training for people without a personal connection to the building trades.
Why it matters
This expansion is critical because the Massachusetts construction workforce is aging rapidly. Research indicates that the state needs to expand its construction workforce to keep up with housing construction needs. The WORC2 center provides training in skills like Passive House construction and business counseling to high school students and subcontractors.
