NEW YORK CITY-Two initiatives to provide minority students and minority/women business enterprises with opportunities to participate in the Lower Manhattan revitalization process were launched yesterday inside the construction site at 7 World Trade Center by Silverstein Properties president Larry Silverstein.

Silverstein is the only private partner participating in Construction Skills 2000, a job training apprenticeship program for high school students operated by the Building and Construction Trades Council, the Building Trade Employers’ Association, the New York City Department of Education, the School Construction Authority and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Silverstein is also forming a Contractor’s Opportunity Council to identify minority/women-owned businesses and provide them with information regarding upcoming Lower Manhattan projects as well as helping them meet the qualifications and accreditations.
