Construction Technology is a four year program comprised of Principles of Construction, Construction Technology I, Construction Technology II, and Practicum in Construction Technology. Students will be working towards earning NCCER Certifications. The NCCER Core Certification must have been earned in the Principles of Construction course before the student is eligible to enroll in Construction I and earn the NCCER Carpentry Level 1 Certification.

Construction I, students gain knowledge and skills in safety, tool usage, building materials, codes, foundations, and residential wood framing techniques. Students will frame a basic wood frame structure with a door and window.
