From the meeting
The council reported that the Building Trades Pre-Apprenticeship program was already operating across 19 aligned districts and serving over 300 students each year. The Builders Association leads meetings with the ESC Career Counseling team and trade unions, while Lencyk Masonry and the plumbers union add feeder experiences. This is an established pipeline with room for expansion, mentorship, and related tools or training materials.
The source points to continued growth rather than a new procurement.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will United Local Schools issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks United Local Schools's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with United Local Schools before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more education & training government opportunities in Ohio?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces education & training pre-RFPs in Ohio as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
