New affordable apartment community will break ground in October offering area job opportunities
Callahan Construction recently hosted a job fair in Yonkers in support of the upcoming Villas at Ridgeway affordable housing community. Callahan organized the job fair to highlight opportunities in the building trades that will be in high demand once the project breaks ground in October.
In general, there has been a shortage of skilled workers in the marketplace following the COVID-19 pandemic. This shortfall has impacted the trades particularly hard, and Callahan, a construction manager that self-performs its own site work, understands how important it is to have access to a deep bench of highly-skilled workers. Jobs in construction allow workers in a wide range of trades ranging from carpentry to electrical to mechanical coordination to find opportunities to make an immediate impact on the project’s progress.
Ensuring projects are safely completed on time and on budget is central to every Callahan job, which takes on even more significance when it comes to affordable housing. The shortfall of attainable, safe housing is a pain point for both families and individuals, and the city of Yonkers Municipal Housing Authority aims to address some of those pressures with the new Villas at Ridgeway development. Finding qualified workers to help ensure this community is completed in accordance with occupancy and quality goals is essential to overall project success.
“Callahan is always committed to providing training and job opportunities to bring new workers into the fold, and we’re excited to partner with the city of Yonkers to create this job fair in support of the Villas at Ridgeway development,” said Steve Callahan, Jr., vice president – business development, Callahan. “We met with numerous residents interested in career opportunities with Callahan, and we’re excited to continue those conversations.” For more information on the Villas at Ridgeway project, click here.
