Applied Construction

Program Year (2023-2024)

About the Program

The Certificate of Achievement in Applied Construction is designed to prepare students to meet entry-level requirements for skilled jobs in the construction industry covering a broad range of skills from foundation to finish.

Recently, our area was struck by the Camp Wildfire which destroyed over 15,000 structures.  In the next decade and beyond, our local industry partners anticipate significant additional need for skilled labor as we recover from this unprecedented event.
