Our Construction Academy is an eight-week "fee-waived" course designed to expose students to various occupations and skills in the construction trades, as well as training on how to become employed in the construction industry.
Students will complete the National Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER) Core curricula, NCCER Field Safety curricula, and will complete the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 10-Hour Safety Certification, receiving certification for each of these courses upon satisfactory completion of the curriculum.
Students will also get hands-on and classroom training. Additionally, local employers in the construction trades will meet with the class to explain opportunities in their industry and share their experience and knowledge in current and future construction trades, as well as possible employment opportunities.
