President's Message

Welcome to the home of The Coalition For United Community Action-ORTC, Inc. (CUCA-ORTC).

Our Coalition has reached another milestone of progress this year, working together hand in hand towards our common goal of building bridges of progress between labor, business, government and community.  Our combined efforts have brought about numerous training programs, and there are thousands of minorities and females working in the building trades today because of your outstanding leadership, hard work and untiring commitments to those who are unskilled, underemployed and unemployed.

We are still a nation where too few have too much, leaving too little for too many.  Some of our senior citizens have been reduced to less than second class citizens; millions of Americans have to survive without insurance and adequate health care; and entirely too many of our young people are poorly educated, underemployed or unemployed.

Our challenge is to continue to work together to create jobs and other economic opportunities for all Americans.  Moreover, the Coalition realizes that economic development and future job opportunities will be very dependent on a good government, new training techniques and technological advances in business and the global economy.

More importantly, with your leadership and support, we have developed two long-term very successful programs, Project Upgrade, a Construction Management, Blueprint Reading, Estimating & Supervisory Training Program that concentrates on preparing today’s experienced journeymen construction workers for tomorrow’s management and supervisory opportunities; and, our Apprenticeship Preparedness Training Program (APT), which prepares young adults and others for apprenticeship opportunities, where they “earn while they learn”, and develop the important skills necessary for a rewarding career in the building and construction industry.

I would like to thank you for visiting our Website!

God bless you all…God bless our Coalition…and God bless America.
