What NUBCU Do

What does NUBCU do?The National United Black Carpenters Union provides carpentry training for urban inner-city youth 18 and older. These youth become skilled and trained carpenters who support underrepresented Blacks in construction. The union aims to build unity as America’s voice in the construction industry for Black Carpenters and apprentices who are denied access to America's multi-trillion-dollar industry due to government restrictive policies.
