Our Construction Academy is an eight-week "fee-waived" course designed to expose students to various occupations and skills in the construction trades, as well as training on how to become employed in the construction industry.
Students will complete the National Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER) Core curricula, NCCER Field Safety curricula, and will complete the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 10-Hour Safety Certification, receiving certification for each of these courses upon satisfactory completion of the curriculum.
