COMMUNITY CERTIFICATIONS
The City of Racine helps individuals from the community gain access to employment opportunities on the various construction projects in the City of Racine. Contractors bidding on certain public and private projects within the City of Racine financed with public tax dollars must hire a percentage of City of Racine residents to work on these projects. WRTP | BIG STEP offers a RWP certification to qualified individuals. Certifications become invalid if you move outside of Racine City limits; you will also be required to update certification with a new City of Racine address upon moving.
