Construction Trades is a 2-year program that is designed to qualify students for entry-level employment in the building trades field. Some classroom work is required, but the primary learning experience is through hands-on work at the job site in all kinds of weather. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will receive a certificate of completion and an OSHA 10 card and may work in the following building trades: foundation work, concrete work, residential and commercial framing, roofing, drywall work, flooring and finish carpentry.
