Committee explores construction-training models and potential partnership with trade-education programs
Summary
Members discussed vocational build-and-tear training programs (referred to as 'Boseies' in the meeting), the county's Tompkins Build program, and options to invite outside practitioners to present program models and land-bank strategies at a future meeting.
Committee members explored vocational construction-training models that some counties use to build short-term training housing and then dismantle or repurpose it, noting potential synergy with Tompkins Build and construction-trades programs. One member said she found multiple counties already running similar programs and suggested inviting a practitioner from a county with an established program to present to the committee.
Members discussed possible program logistics—land availability, union or trade partnerships, and trade-student supervision—and suggested coordinating with local BOCES-like programs and the county workforce office to see if construction-trades training could produce housing units or demonstration projects. Christina and others volunteered to research contacts and to invite a guest to report back at an upcoming meeting so the committee can evaluate whether the model is transferable and where to place pilot projects.
