STEP 2: MENTAL TOUGHNESS WEEK

Mental Toughness Week is our version of tryouts and lasts five days. You’ll face a series of physical challenges and mental challenges meant to push you outside your comfort zone and test your character under pressure. If you make it through this week, we know you are committed to changing your life and have what it takes to make a better future for yourself. You can expect:

  • Physical training
  • Team-building exercises
  • Poem memorization
  • One-on-one interview

STEP 3: 40-DAY CHALLENGE

During the 40-day Challenge, you will spend 5+ hours in the classroom each day, participating in financial literacy, work readiness, construction skills, and Bible study classes. You’ll earn three construction-industry certifications and learn everything you need to know to get a job, manage your money, and be the man God created you to be.

You’ll live in dorm-style housing. We provide food, transportation, and share the responsibility of chores and cooking. Every weekend, you’ll participate in a service project or adventure outing.

STEP 4: GET TO WORK

Complete the 40-Day Challenge and get a full-time job that pays well and has benefits. Most of our guys find full-time employment after just eight weeks in the program.

You’ll be getting a steady paycheck, so you can work toward buying a car with cash and saving an emergency fund. You’ll have a new mindset and the confidence to clearly see the path to standing on your own two feet.

  • Will I need to find my own car to go to work?

    While you are living on campus, we provide transportation to and from your workplace.

  • How will I get hired?

    We work with numerous job partners in the city of Nashville who attend our Career Fair & Signing Day events each year. During this event, you’ll have the opportunity to chat with hiring managers and company owners about their employment opportunities, interview, and potentially receive an offer.
