Decatur Building & Construction Trades Council provides strong leadership to the URMAP program through its various union representatives. The URMAP program is founded and based on the principal of working collaboratively with the local Building and Construction Trades.   Each trade requires a participant to have specific skills prior to entrance in to an apprenticeship program.  The requirements range from math skills, technical skills and people skills.  The expertise of the trades provides a creative approach to implementing the URMAP Program.  The success of the program through union collaboration is proven through the number of former graduates retaining union employment.  The union collaborative efforts provide access to application opportunities, testing and training for each individual.  The trades also serve as mentors for past and present participants.
