The state DOT is hosting a workforce development event Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m. at the College of Staten Island's Center for the Arts at 2800 Victory Blvd., Willowbrook.
The event is being held in connection with the state DOT's recent project to extend the bus/HOV lane on the Staten Island Expressway, and to assist those interested in changing careers to learn more about the construction business.
The DOT will be joined by the project contractor, CCA Civil; the U.S. Department of Transportation and Commerce; Nontraditional Employment for Women and representatives from Teamsters Local 282, Operating Engineers Locals 14 and 15, Paving Laborers Local 1010 and Excavation Laborers Local 731.
Those who attend can learn more about the construction trade, becoming a trade union member or learn about the disadvantaged, minority and women's business certification, all in connection with the $110 million bus/HOV lane extension project currently under way on the SIE.
The state DOT hires mostly through the unions, so there may not be immediate job openings for construction laborers, but small business owners who offer support services to the construction industry could make connections at this networking event, the state DOT said.
The project will extend the current bus/HOV lanes from where they end today to the Victory Boulevard exit in both directions.
The Slosson Avenue overpass will be replaced with a wider bridge deck and the Manor Road overpass will be widened westbound to accommodate the new bus/HOV lanes.
