In the Building Trades program students learn safety, tool recognition and usage (both power tools and hand tools), measurement, and jobsite etiquette. Students are exposed to training such as hand drafting, CADD, masonry, data wiring, sheet metal, blueprint reading, estimation and public relations. Students work on the jobsite everyday, in small groups, individually or with the whole class, to construct a single-family house. Students will do all aspects of construction including surveying, concrete, rough carpentry, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, insulation, sheetrock, roofing, finish fixtures, painting and landscaping.
