CONSTRUCTION TRADES
Don’t just learn about it – build an actual house and lay the foundation for a rewarding career! You will gain hands-on experience with power tools, blueprint reading, cabinet making, and the construction of floors, walls, ceilings, and roofs. Construct your future in the exciting world of residential and commercial building.
BUILD A LASTING FOUNDATION
Take a drive on any street and look around. Every structure you see is either old, new, or under construction. New buildings, roads, and other structures represent the building process, and America likes to build. Let Central Tech help you build a foundation for a career in construction.
Students learn how to build a house from the ground up!
BUILDING PROCESS YOU WILL EXPERIENCE HANDS-ON:
THE HOUSE PROJECT
The house is a cooperative project with Pre-Engineering students and understanding how civil work influences the foundation of your building structure and Electrical Trades students wiring the home for electricity. In fact, some students will choose to take both construction and electrical trades to increase their skills, employability, and starting salary. Others may choose to combine construction and drafting or start their own construction company.
Building a home, as part of the curriculum, gives students a leg-up on someone beginning their training with a construction company.
High school students rave about the Skills competitions in framing, cabinet making, and TeamWorks (which combines carpentry, masonry, plumbing, and electrical skills).
If you are a person who enjoys seeing the fruits of their labor, then each day on a construction site can be rewarding. Once the project is complete…you can enjoy looking at it for years to come.
Build your future in construction trades and help frame the future of the construction industry.
“Great place to find future construction employees.”
“Construction is a great class that generates great leaders.”
