Highway Construction Skills Training (HCST)

A flagger working

HCST is a six week intensive training program that prepares workers for careers in the road construction industry. HCST also works with program graduates​​ to find employment and ensure their continued success.

The HCST program works to create opportunity for groups historically underrepresented​ in the construction industry, including women and people of color.

ABOUT HCST

HCST was previously called the Transportation Alliance for New Solutions (TrANS). The program was renamed in ​February of 2023.​​

​HCST works with over two dozen partners across the state. Over 800 HCST graduates have been placed with employers as laborers or apprentices.​

“The opportunities are endless, it’s all there waiting for people especially from this program, to go out there and get those jobs.” 
—Noel Vandiver, HCST instructor and program graduate
