About the Opportunity

The Communications Director is a strategic and creative leader responsible for shaping and sharing Building Futures' story. This position implements internal and external communications—advancing the organization’s visibility, influence, and impact with partners, policymakers, employers, funders, donors, and the broader community.

The ideal candidate is a storyteller who can translate complex workforce and economic development initiatives into compelling narratives that inspire action. This role combines strategic communications, media relations, digital engagement, and brand management to advance Building Futures’ mission.

This is a full-time role reporting to the Chief External Relations Officer and working collaboratively across the organization.

About Building Futures

Building Futures was founded in 2007 as a construction industry partnership focused on leveraging the Registered Apprenticeship model of workforce development. For over 100 years, unions and employers have jointly operated quality registered apprenticeships in construction occupations to train individuals as highly skilled tradespeople. Our work spans three distinct but highly aligned areas.

For the benefit of low-income Rhode Islanders, Building Futures developed and operates a comprehensive pre-apprenticeship program to prepare diverse, low-income men and women for success in employment as registered apprentices in the building trades. In addition, we work in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure construction projects provide employment opportunities for apprentices at the appropriate level to meet future demand for skilled labor through our Apprentice Utilization Program. Our pre-apprenticeship and apprentice utilization program provide an effective workforce development system in Rhode Island’s construction sector.

From this foundation, we have established Apprenticeship Rhode Island, an initiative to expand the use of Registered Apprenticeship beyond the construction sector. Now, we are helping develop new registered apprenticeship programs in multiple sectors, including healthcare, information technology, advanced manufacturing, and marine trades. Working with employers, industry partnerships, government, and community-based organizations, we are spreading the proven model of Registered Apprenticeship to benefit the state’s workforce and economy.

We are looking for volunteers and/or interns to support our youth-led organization with a variety of administrative tasks, especially related to fundraising. This is a great opportunity for adult allies to support our work to build student power in Providence to improve our education and well-being. This is also a good opportunity for developing skills in nonprofit development in a supportive, open-minded environment. It would be good to meet first in person, but some of the work can be done virtually. Tasks could include organizing/filing documents, assisting with grants, data entry, etc.

We are looking for volunteers to help keep our after-school space clean and organized!

Please wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and be prepared to wear a mask if needed.

The committee is focused on supporting PSU through special events and fundraising campaigns with individual donors and businesses. The projects may vary from year to year based on member/youth feedback, new opportunities or circumstances and member/staff capacity. Generally, the committee will focus on the following:

Coordinate a community drive for basic needs, such as food or hygiene products, for Providence youth. In our afterschool space, we offer a variety of resources for students, including free snacks and nonperishable food, personal care products, school supplies, and new/gently used clothes. We are looking for volunteers who would like to coordinate a food or supply drive with their workplace, class, church or other group to help us replenish our stock of resources. This can be a great community-building activity for your team, and the resources will go directly to youth facing the burden of the extremely high cost of living in Providence. 

Careers in the unionized construction industry are rewarding and challenging careers, yet women make up only approximately 3% of the construction trades workforce and 10% of Building Futures' pre-apprenticeship graduates. This position is an opportunity to change that. Building Futures is seeking an experienced tradesperson (journeyworker preferred) who is a skilled educator and teacher and who brings a deep understanding of the barriers women face in nontraditional occupations.

The Women Building Rhode Island (WBRI) Trainer will design and deliver a new hands-on apprenticeship readiness training in cross team collaboration at Building Futures that will encourage women to explore careers in building and construction, build physical and technical skills, and learn about industry culture before entrance to Building Futures' pre-apprenticeship program and placement in employment as a registered apprentice in one of many trades. Additionally, the Trainer will work in collaboration with the RI Women's Council of the Building and Construction Trades Council and with Building Futures' program alumnae to build the community of Rhode Island tradeswomen, provide skills-based and leadership development workshops, and collaborate with partners to ensure women have the tools, confidence, and networks they need to thrive and advance in their careers.

Building Futures was founded in 2007 as a construction industry partnership focused on leveraging the Registered Apprenticeship model of workforce development. For over 100 years, unions and employers have jointly operated quality registered apprenticeships in construction occupations to train individuals as highly skilled tradespeople. Our work spans three distinct but highly aligned areas.

For the benefit of low-income Rhode Islanders, Building Futures developed and operates a comprehensive pre-apprenticeship program to prepare diverse, low-income men and women for success in employment as registered apprentices in the building trades. In addition, we work in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure construction projects provide apprenticeship opportunities at appropriate levels to meet future demand for skilled labor through our Apprentice Utilization Program. Our pre-apprenticeship and apprentice utilization programs provide an effective workforce development system in Rhode Island's construction sector.

From this foundation, we have established Apprenticeship Rhode Island, an initiative to expand the use of Registered Apprenticeship beyond the construction sector. Now, we are helping develop new registered apprenticeship programs in multiple sectors, including healthcare, information technology, advanced manufacturing, and marine trades. Working with employers, industry partnerships, government, and community-based organizations, we are spreading the proven model of Registered Apprenticeship to benefit the state's workforce and economy.

1. Training and Education

In alignment with Building Futures' high-quality training stands and best practices, develop, implement, and provide direct hands-on and classroom instruction for a new apprenticeship readiness program for women that builds technical skills and explores careers in building and construction, including:

• Maintain proper worksite safety while conducting hands-on training, modeling industry standards.

• Maintain participant records.

• In partnership with training staff, maintain proper organization and security of equipment, tools, materials, supplies, consumables, and PPE.

• Assist with data collection, program tracking, and reporting outcomes related to women's participation and advancement.

• Provide support to Building Futures' training and alumni education programs, as needed.

2. Program Support and Coordination

Support implementation of WBRI strategies to recruit, retain, and advance women in the trades, including:

• Facilitate peer mentoring and networking groups among Building Futures pre-apprenticeship alumnae and Rhode Island tradeswomen.

• Collaborate with Building Futures' teams to address training needs that support women's success and retention, identified by alumnae and apprenticeship and employer partners.

• Provide individual coaching and resource navigation to women working in building and construction trades apprenticeships.

• Collaborate with other members of the External Relations Team to support the implementation of an outreach strategy for women-focused programming.

3. Partnerships & Community Engagement

• Work closely with the RI Women's Council of the RI Building and Construction Trades Council to support events, meetings, and outreach initiatives that elevate the voices and leadership of tradeswomen.

• Support relationship building with unions, contractors, training providers, and community partners to strengthen pathways for women in construction careers.

• Represent Building Futures and the Women Building Rhode Island initiative at community and industry events.

4. External Relations Team

• Support and participate in team and organization-wide events and activities, as needed.

• Other duties, as assigned

Alignment and commitment to our organizational mission are essential: our mission is to meet employer needs for skilled workers through Registered Apprenticeship, creating equitable paths to family-sustaining careers for Rhode Islanders. Additionally, successful applicants will have:

• A minimum of 5 years of construction experience, with a strong preference for those who have become Journeyworkers via a jointly-operated registered apprenticeship program.

• 3+ years supervisory experience, with experience leading cross-trade construction crews preferred; at minimum, a broad range of knowledge on all building trade occupations.

Founded in 1636, it is one of the oldest cities in the United States and the third-largest city in the New England region after Boston and Worcester. Providence has a city population of 180,609 and is part of the Providence metropolitan area with an estimated population of 1,622,520. The region is considered part of the Greater Boston combined statistical area, the sixth largest in the country, with over eight million residents.

Once nicknamed the “Beehive of Industry,” Providence has rebranded itself as the “Creative Capital” to emphasize its educational resources (Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design, Providence College, Rhode Island College, Roger Williams University, and Johnson & Wales University) and arts community. Over the last twenty years, much of Providence has undergone a true civic renaissance, as political leaders and residents have propelled the city into an exciting place to work and live. City streets are packed with boutiques, hotels, renovated lofts, excellent restaurants, and art spaces.

In addition to being the home of Trinity Repertory Company, Providence has a remarkable arts and culture community that includes nationally renowned community arts center, AS220; the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra; RISD Museum; Providence Athenaeum; Festival Ballet; and WaterFire. Providence is also home to several performing arts centers such as the Veterans Memorial Auditorium and the Providence Performing Arts Center, as well as a number of smaller theaters. The city’s music scene, centered on artist-run spaces, is well known in underground music circles.  

The restaurant scene in Providence is second to none and a source of immense pride for residents, as the city has been consistently recognized as a top city for food. Because of Rhode Island’s proximity to the ocean, many restaurants, grocery stores, and farmer’s markets boast food sourced from the state itself, giving real meaning to the phrase “farm-to-table” dining. From bakeries and coffee shops, to bars and food trucks, there is no shortage of fun, excellent, cutting-edge dining in the city.
