The Building Trades program provides students with a solid foundation in residential building. Construction skills and techniques taught include: framing, insulation, siding, roofing, drywall
hanging and finishing, masonry, deck building, window and door installation, and finish
trim work. Students apply these construction skills and techniques
in a lab situation building the annual School House
Project. Hand and power tool use, safety, teamwork, and employability
skills are emphasized. The Building Trades program is valuable
for students thinking of going into a construction field and
for others wanting to learn valuable life skills.
Students begin the program in the Building Trades I class.
This is a hands-on introduction course, which touches on all
aspects of residential building. Shed building is one lab
exercise used. The class is great preparation for the Building
Trades II class. (For experienced students, a test is offered
to bypass the Building Trades I course). Students in Building
Trades II concentrate on building the annual School House
Project. |
