BY Plus
Job Training + Paid Work and Support Services
For 26 years, I’ve always focused on everyone else, and this time, I focused on myself. This class has given me the motivation to go farther and achieve new goals.

ABout BY Plus Programs
The coursework, job fair opportunity, and certifications for BY Plus are the same as traditional BY Construction Training, but BY Plus students also have the chance to engage in paid, hands-on work experience at work sites managed by Home Repairs for Good, a nonprofit that provides home repairs for low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities who own their own home in Marion County.
BY Plus students can also get help with things that might prevent them from completing the course or starting a new job. We connect students to free legal counseling provided by the Indianapolis Legal Aid Society, as well as community centers and other partners to help with financial coaching, transportation assistance, childcare, and more.
Graduates earn two industry certifications: NCCER Core and OSHA 10. Construction industry employers visit classes and share information. The last day of class is always a job fair with construction industry employers who are hiring.
NOTE: BY Plus students must live in Marion County.
