The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) and Prologis have announced a partnership to prepare Southern Nevada residents for careers in the skilled trades. Supported by a $250,000 contribution from Prologis, the Building Nevada’s Future Multi-Craft Pre-Apprenticeship Initiative will provide hands-on training and industry credentials that open pathways to apprenticeships and jobs.
The program will serve 80 residents a year through four eight-week sessions, with 240 hours of training across nine construction trades, including electrical, carpentry, plumbing, and HVAC. Participants will prepare for credentials such as OSHA certification and receive career coaching and help with apprenticeship applications. Training takes place at CSN’s Westside Educational Training Center.
The Southern Nevada Building Trades Union and the Nevada Contractors Association will help align training with industry needs and connect participants with employers. Prologis’ contribution also covers support services, including transportation, equipment, and emergency assistance.
The program is aiming for an 80% completion rate, a 90% credential attainment rate, and 70% placement into apprenticeships or construction jobs within 60 days.
“Talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn’t always within reach,” said CSN President Dr. Stacy Klippenstein. “This partnership will give more Southern Nevada residents the practical skills and training they need to build rewarding careers in the skilled trades.”
Enrollment opens in November 2026, and classes begin January 5, 2027. Interested students can email DWED.Navigators@CSN.EDU. More at news.csn.edu/prologis-csn.
