Build your future from the ground up 🔨

The Carpentry & Building Trades program provides hands-on training in real construction environments, teaching essential skills like framing, measuring, tool usage, blueprint reading, and job site safety. Students gain practical experience working on real projects, preparing them for careers in residential and commercial construction.

A standout part of the program is the opportunity to design and build fully functional tiny homes from start to finish. These homes are then sold or auctioned—giving buyers the chance to purchase high-quality, student-built homes while students gain real-world experience, build a strong portfolio, and understand the business side of construction.

Graduates leave with the skills and confidence to step directly into the workforce or continue advancing in the building trades industry.
