Cohorts
At DÄ“z Kids Construction Education Program, we train future builders in cohorts. They are small, structured groups of participants who start, learn, and graduate together. This model ensures every participant receives consistent training, builds teamwork skills, and progresses through the program at the same pace.
What is a Cohort?
A cohort is a scheduled group of participants enrolled in the same session of our program. Each cohort follows a set curriculum, timeline, and set of learning objectives. Participants move through each stage together, supporting one another while developing industry-recognized skills and certifications.
Cohort Structure
​
• Length: 6 weeks
• Schedule: Typically 4 days per week, 5 hrs per day
• Weeks 1- 2: Certification training
(e.g., OSHA 30, NFPA 70E, Blueprint Reading)
• Weeks 3 - 6: Hands-on construction project work under guided supervision
• Graduation: Participants finish with:
- Full PPE set
- Personal tool kit
- Industry certifications
- Documented work experience
Cohort Policy
• Attendance: Participants must attend all scheduled sessions unless excused in advance.
• Start & End Dates: Each cohort begins and ends on fixed dates. All participants are expected to complete the full 6-week program.
• Teamwork: Every participant works alongside their cohort peers to complete training and project work.
