What We Do
The Alabama Construction Industry Craft Training Board (CICT) provides grant opportunities for craft training programs within the commercial construction industry. Our mission is to support training programs in building a qualified workforce to meet the growing demand for skilled craftsmen and commercial construction workers in Alabama.
Training Program Grant Applications
Training proposed in the grant application should be tied to a specific skill or trade. The training format can be craft training, apprenticeship, or other effective training models. The maximum amount that can be requested is $100,000 per trade. The current year grant application is for programs requesting the award of funds, plan to provide training, and request reimbursement for training during the current fiscal year from Oct 1- September 30. A future year application is a request for funds for a program that will start after the upcoming Oct. 1 date.
