Prologis funds $250,000 construction training program at CSN

Las Vegas logistics firm Prologis will provide $250,000 to support a new construction pre-apprenticeship program at the College of Southern Nevada. The partnership centers on the Westside Educational Training Center, where the company named the initiative “Building Nevada’s Future.”

The program targets approximately 80 Southern Nevada residents annually. Participants will complete four eight-week sessions, totaling 240 hours of hands-on instruction. The curriculum covers nine construction trades, specifically including electrical work, carpentry, plumbing, and HVAC systems.

Students in the track will have the opportunity to earn industry credentials such as OSHA certification. They will also receive career coaching and assistance with apprenticeship applications. The Southern Nevada Building Trades Union and the Nevada Contractors Association will help connect graduates with employers and specific apprenticeship programs.

Program administrators have set specific performance metrics for the cohort. The goals include an 80% completion rate and a 90% credential earning rate. Additionally, 70% of students are expected to secure an apprenticeship or construction job within 60 days of finishing the course.

Enrollment for the first group of students opens in November 2026. Classes are scheduled to begin on January 5, 2027. Interested applicants can find details on the College of Southern Nevada’s program page.
