VENTURA, Calif. - TelAve -- The Tri-Counties Workforce Development Boards are pleased to announce that the High Roads Construction Careers (HRCC) graduation video, "Your Future Starts Here," produced by Consortium Media, has been awarded a Gold Viddy Award, recognizing excellence in video creation, production, and storytelling.

The video celebrates the accomplishments of graduates from the High Road Construction Careers (HRCC) program — a pre-apprenticeship pathway supported and funded by the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) in coordination with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) through annual state fund allocations. HRCC is a three-county program uniting local building and construction trades councils, workforce development boards, educational partners, and community-based organizations across San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties to deliver structured training, a standard core curriculum, and direct pathways into state-certified apprenticeships.
