America’s Workforce Academy
People are building things in America again.
America’s Workforce Academy (AWA) is a nationwide, unprecedented fast-track to a long-term career in a skilled trade. It's a program that supports all participants while they learn and then guarantees a job for all graduates.
$115 million
America’s Workforce Academy is powered by an initial $115 million investment.
Paid training. A job. And a path to America’s future.
- Open to qualified veterans, recent graduates, career changers and other new entrants to the trades from all 50 states.
- No prior experience required.
- Meta funds all costs, with its operating partner administering the program to provide candidates with tuition, airfare, lodging, and a daily stipend during training.
A credential that opens doors.
The United States labor market needs hundreds of thousands of fiber technicians, welders, plumbers, electricians and other skilled trade workers. At Meta, we see this as an incredible opportunity for these American heroes to power America’s future.
Every graduate will leave with a verified, industry-standard credential in high-demand fields such as electrical work, mechanical systems and plumbing.
