About

Building Pathways South (BPS) is a Pre-apprenticeship program with a mission of helping low-income individuals gain entrance into registered bona fide apprenticeship programs, and ultimately, careers in the Building Trades. Partnering with MASCEC, the construction curriculum has been expanded to include an introduction to the Offshore Wind Industry and while the program is inclusive there is a focus on increasing workplace diversity.  BPS is actively seeking applicants for its class slated to begin on October 6 of 2025 and will be conducted ONLY at IBEW Local 223 located at 475 Myles Standish Blvd., Taunton, MA 02780. We will not be having a session In our New Bedford location.

Building Pathways South is a collaboration between the Brockton & Vicinity Building Trades Council, the Southeastern Massachusetts Building Trades Council, and is fiscally sponsored by the Coalition for Social Justice Education Fund.

BPS holds regular community information sessions to explain the program in detail to interested applicants and is happy to come to your organization to do the same.
