If you enjoy working with your hands and seeing the results of your hard work come to life, the Construction Trades program is a perfect fit. This program is designed for motivated students who take pride in building, fixing, and creating. From framing walls and pouring concrete to installing drywall and siding, students gain real experience in carpentry and masonry using professional tools and techniques. You'll learn how to read blueprints, safely operate hand and power tools, and follow building codes and green construction practices. Plus, with our NCCER accreditation, students can earn college credit and even one year of apprenticeship credit—giving you a serious head start in the construction industry.

As students progress, they explore everything from wall and roof framing to stair construction, insulation, exterior finishes, and interior trim work. You’ll work on real projects that prepare you for job sites and apprenticeships, learning how to think critically, communicate on a crew, and follow safety protocols like OSHA-10 standards.

Whatever your pathway, whether it's employment, enrollment, or enlistment, the Construction Trades program will provide you the opportunities to reach your goals through valued industry certifications, exposure to our college partners, and taking advantage of our Work-Based Learning program. Several of our graduates go on to become carpenters, construction foremen, project managers, or go into business for themselves.
