Schultz said CEO (Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities) is being offered in 51 locations in five states this year, with the expectation that number will grow to 58 locations in seven states next year.

Schultz also reminded that this is the fifth year for CTEC (Construction Trades Education Curriculum), which was designed to train young people to move into a career in construction trades. He noted that a survey of fourth year alumni showed that 80% are involved in construction trades.
