PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Region 10 Tech Building Trades program is designed to introduce students to the skills necessary to succeed in the construction industry.  Students gain practical hands-on work experience both in the Region 10 Tech Building Trades shop and on job sites in the community. Students from Building Trades may join Skills USA to enhance their leadership skills and compete with students from other schools, both in-state and nationwide. 

Building Trades students learn both carpentry and masonry skills with the inclusion of a four-week unit in masonry.  Together, both areas offer entry level skills and experience for a career in the construction trades or for further education in community college programs.

 PROGRAM STATEMENT

Students that successfully complete two years of Building Trades will have the basic carpentry skills necessary to work successfully in the field of carpentry. With this foundation, students should be able to advance quickly with work experience and professional guidance on the job site.
