 Summer Intern Request Information


 
What is the CSDI?

The summer internship program places eligible high school students ages 16-18 with local construction companies for hands on experience either in the office or on a project site. Students who have participated in area construction skills development programs with the Alliance CSDI partners are eligible to participate. The CSDI recruits, trains and retains a workforce from underemployed, unskilled and displaced workers throughout Atlanta. The CSDI provides individuals with the necessary elements to become skilled craftsmen and construction workers.
