who ought to be entering the workforce but have little hope of doing so because they dropped out of school or wound up in jail or had some other problem. shawn gamez, for example, had been in and out of prison for robbery by the time he was 25. >> there was no work. it was nonexistent to me, for people like myself. >> if you follow the basics and do the basics right, everything else falls in place. >> reporter: but then he ran into sylvester who recruits students for the construction gateway program, scouring homeless shelters, unemployment lines. >> i look for two things, a student that i feel that will benefit from this and the second one, which is just as important, is an individual that is going to be a good employee. >> reporter: once in, they are taught the boot camp basics of construction work, showing up on time, doing what you're told, the language of tools and rules of building. all with the goal of helping not just them, but the broader community too.
