The Houston Area Urban League is offering free online construction/trades certification (NCCER). There is an application process and I don't know what the eligibility guidelines are, but I thought that this might be really great for someone out there. The Urban League seems to have a federal labor grant to fund this, so it might be pretty widely open.

I just called and the coordinator says that this is only open for Houston residents. Bummer.
I did find this page from NCCER that says the organization is now running temporary online testing. So, if someone can find a sponsor, it might be possible to test out of some of these certifications.
