High school students can enroll in a construction trade program with our chapter to start learning on the job skills that will increase their earning power immediately upon graduation. They will learn a valuable trade and receive "national recognition" for their skills. Skill certification will be recorded in the National Registry of the National Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER).

NCCER is recognized by contractors nationwide and provides certification for students that shows they are trained to industry approved standards. After completing the School-to-Career programs, students will be able to continue a standard apprenticeship or journeyman program at an advanced level.

Sign up today and become part of the team that builds America right for a better and safer tomorrow.



Don't put your future on hold, ENROLL now as a high school student!
