Thirty-three Camden residents are stepping into the future with hard hats in hand as they graduate from the Camden Gateway Pre-Apprenticeship Program, officially joining local building trades unions to help construct Cooper’s transformative campus expansion, Project Imagine.
Launched through a partnership between Cooper and local unions, the program prepares Camden residents for lifelong careers in the skilled trades. Selected through a competitive interview process, this inaugural cohort will now help bring Project Imagine—the multi-year expansion that broke ground in January—to life.
