A retired teacher in Milwaukee, Ezzard White, was planning to start a training program in 2008 for imparting trade skills such as electrical and electronics to people working or going to enter the construction industry. But the sudden recession that struck U.S. economy in October 2008 acted as a stumbling block to his venture. But after five years, in September of 2013, White started training for the first batch on trade activities such as basic and secondary level electrician skills for the construction industry. Within a couple of months, around 400 students have already enrolled for the training.

The students, after completing the electrician module, would then start taking the succeeding modules that include blue print reading, plumbing, welding, building construction, masonry, general drafting, carpentry and HVAC. The whole program runs for a duration of 24 weeks. Though White has been able to take the theory sessions without any problem, he couldn’t get the required space for constructing a workshop for live workshop sessions. He has already sent a proposal to the local authorities on using the space available at the North Division high school for construction of a lab workshop. The authorities are looking into the proposal. Once given the approval, the work on workshop construction would soon commence.
