This is a two-year program for students considering careers in construction. The curriculum meets the New York State Department of Labor and National Construction Curriculum Education and Research apprenticeship training requirements. Successful students may receive one year of apprenticeship training credit for prevailing wage jobs. Articulation agreements are in place with FMCC and SUNY Delhi. Successful students may also receive a NYS Technical Endorsement on their diplomas.

Course of Study Year One

In the first year, students rotate through a series of key construction trade areas, including construction core (basics in safety, blueprint reading, math, transit skills, etc.), masonry, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and alternative energy/green building.

Course of Study Year Two

In the second year, students may choose to focus on their occupational interests based upon their first-year experiences. A one-week internship and final project are required.
