The in-house option provides hands-on training through a combination of classroom instruction, mock-ups, and live construction projects. Students develop foundational skills in residential and commercial construction while learning industry standards, materials, methods, and codes.

Through competency-based learning and project work, students build experience at their own pace while creating an ePortfolio that showcases their skills and prepares them for employment in the construction industry.

The jobsite option combines classroom and lab instruction with paid, on-the-job experience in the construction field. Students alternate between campus learning and working with industry partners, gaining real-world experience on active residential and commercial job sites.

This model allows students to build practical skills while earning income and developing connections within the industry, preparing them to meet workforce demands upon graduation.

The one-year certificate focuses on foundational construction skills and provides a direct entry point into the workforce. Students can also continue into one of the associate degree programs to further develop their skills.
