About CIWI

The Construction Industry Workforce Initiative (CIWI) is a non-profit organization that provides internships for lower-income young adults enrolled in college in construction and real estate fields.  Motivated, talented and hardworking, many of these interns are first-generation college students from BIPOC communities.

CIWI’s goals are to provide direct construction industry work experience; a comprehensive leadership and mentor component; and personal, educational and career development opportunities for young adults, who may ultimately pursue education and career opportunities within the fields of construction, real estate development, architecture and engineering, civic engagement, and urban design.
