The NYCHA Resident Training Academy (NRTA), funded by Robin Hood, provides employment-linked training opportunities and job placement assistance to NYCHA residents in the construction, maintenance, and janitorial fields. NYCHA’s Resident Economic Empowerment & Sustainability office (REES) works with successful graduates of the Academy to provide job placement assistance by focusing on jobs with career paths, that lead to self sufficiency. Past NRTA graduates have worked with REES to obtain jobs at NYCHA in positions such as Caretaker and Pest Control Technicians, and with NYCHA contractors and affordable housing developers in the various construction trades. The NRTA is collaboration among NYCHA, Robin Hood, and many of the premier training providers in the city: Brooklyn Workforce Innovations (BWI), Nontraditional Employment for Women (NEW), and the New York City College of Technology (City Tech). In addition, the NRTA is in partnership with Building Skills NY for job placement with affordable housing developers. The NRTA’s construction training is designed to provide motivated students with the knowledge and skills required for a successful career in the construction industry. Please note that there is a zero tolerance policy regarding cheating and/or disruptive behavior (any behaviors unbecoming of a potential NRTA trainee or NYCHA employee) as deemed by the lead agency representative and or NYCHA staff.
