VENTURA, CA, UNITED STATES, January 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Tri-Counties Workforce Development Boards are pleased to announce that the High Roads Construction Careers (HRCC) graduation video, “Your Future Starts Here,” produced by Consortium Media, has been awarded a Gold Viddy Award, recognizing excellence in video creation, production, and storytelling.
The video celebrates the accomplishments of graduates from the High Road Construction Careers (HRCC) program — a pre-apprenticeship pathway supported and funded by the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) in coordination with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) through annual state fund allocations. HRCC is a three-county program uniting local building and construction trades councils, workforce development boards, educational partners, and community-based organizations across San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties to deliver structured training, a standard core curriculum, and direct pathways into state-certified apprenticeships.
“Your Future Starts Here” highlights the inspiring stories of HRCC graduates who have pursued new skills, mentorship, and long-term career opportunities within the construction trades. Their achievements reflect WDBVC’s mission to expand equitable workforce access and support residents in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties in building sustainable, high-quality careers.
“We are honored to receive this Gold Viddy Award and proud of our collaboration with Consortium Media,” said Andrea Sanchez, Sr. Workforce Development Program Manager of the Workforce Development Board of Ventura County. “This recognition underscores the impact of the HRCC program and the determination of every graduate whose journey is featured in the video.”
The Viddy Awards, now in their 30th year, are administered by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP) and are among the video industry’s most respected honors. AMCP judges—experienced senior-level professionals—are known for their fairness, accuracy, and commitment to recognizing excellence in creative communication.

WDBVC extends its appreciation to the HRCC partners, instructors, employers, and graduates whose collaboration made this project possible across the three counties.
