Construction Trades will introduce students to the fundamental principles of construction and prepare them for any entry-level construction job. Students in this program will be introduced to construction fields of carpentry, masonry, and plumbing. Construction Trades combines classroom instruction with hands-on training as well as collaboration with other programs on real-world projects. As part of the hands-on training in this program, students will work on a modular house that will be sold in an auction when completed. The proper use of construction equipment, selection of materials, estimating, measuring, blueprint reading, and building code interpretation will be stressed along with the employability skills needed to work well with a construction crew.
