Our Story

IT ALL STARTED AT LEVEL ONE

Phase 3 Training Corporation (“Phase 3”) was created to address economic disparities among men and women from disadvantaged areas around Maryland. Phase 3 saw a need in the elevator workforce system for recruiting and placing workers in careers. Phase 3 then created training programs where individuals could access family sustaining wages and a clear career pathway. Phase 3’s programs help workers earn nationally recognized certifications and qualifies them to work in the elevator industry nationally and internationally.

THE EVOLUTION

We took the elevator technician as our unique niche offering, and use that as the foundation to our organization both literally and metaphorically as we aim to “elevate the world.” We didn’t just stop at “level one,” we took it further because we noticed our community also had an interest in the electrical and HVAC trades. Therefore, we added those areas as our programs developed. Phase 3 currently has 3 tracks, Elevator, HVAC, and Electrical.

OUR PATHS TO GREATNESS

We provide 3 career paths: High School “Young Builders” Path, Pre-Apprenticeship Path, and Apprenticeship Path.
