The Construction Technology program is designed to prepare you to be valuable members of a construction team. You will learn construction and shop safety, math for construction and measurement, correct use of hand and power tools, and build small structures and buildings. You will also receive industry-level credentials recognized by OSHA. Both construction theory and hands-on learning are combined to give students a variety of skills and knowledge in the industry.
Students who complete the Construction Technology Program option are employed in:
INDUSTRIAL FUNDAMENTALS-Students will complete OSHA 10-Hour Construction Safety training. Safely operating and using tools and equipment is emphasized along with blueprint reading, and measurement. Students will learn construction techniques.
PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, & CONSTRUCTION-Students will add basic electrical and plumbing knowledge plus build a structure using the skills and knowledge gained.
CARPENTRY-Students will increase knowledge and hands-on experience needed to build and repair wood-framed residential structures. The course emphasizes construction techniques for floors, walls, roofs, doors, and windows. Students learn to select appropriate materials, apply building codes, and follow project specifications from foundation to finish.
APPLIED CONSTRUCTION CAPSTONE-Students will apply the skills, knowledge, and work habits developed throughout their construction program in a comprehensive, real-world project.
All programs in the technical center have three class periods available for enrollment. In the event there are more applicants for a section than seats available, students will be asked to choose an alternate period. If the section(s) are still over enrollment capacity, students may be asked to submit an essay and participate in an interview process.
Final determination will be at the discretion of the instructor and the academy director.
