Overview: In a recent meeting, the Fall River Housing Authority announced its participation in a cooperative program with Diamond Regional Vocational Technical High School aimed at providing students with practical experience in trades such as plumbing and electrical work. This is the first time the Housing Authority has engaged in such a program, which they described as a mutually beneficial “win-win” for both the students and the community. The initiative currently includes one student plumber, with plans to onboard additional students, potentially including electricians and clerical staff, after the holidays.
