Apprenticeships Programs

We invest in people and then people invest in us

BLDM offers high-quality, in-house apprenticeship training programs that help individuals obtain careers in construction trades and join our workforce. BLDM also partner with many registered apprenticeship programs in Puerto Rico and expose apprentices directly to their job or trade interest.  Once the apprentices graduate from our programs, they receive direct or preferred entry to work with us.
