Enrolling in Building Trades will give you the “hands on” opportunity to explore many different aspects of the construction trades. You’ll learn to operate tools and equipment safely, read blueprints, lay block, frame a house, install shingles and siding, wire a house, plumb/heat/cool a house and finally install all of the interior finishes from flooring to paint to trim.
