About us

At U.N.I.T.Y. Corporation, we’re here to fill a critical gap—offering opportunities where programs like Job Corps have lost funding, which makes it hard for them to train as many. Our mission is to empower individuals through hands-on training in the construction industry, creating clear pathways from entry-level positions like laborers and material handlers all the way to leadership roles in construction management and sales.

Whether you're brand new to the industry or looking to level up your current career, we’re here to help you gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to build a better future. We believe in opening doors—not just to jobs, but to careers that many never realized were possible.

U.N.I.T.Y. was born from the vision of our Executive Director, Maat Shabazz, founder of Mims & Sons Construction, who saw the need for a more accessible, community-driven approach to workforce development in the trades.

Let’s build something great—together.
