Construction Trades

  • The Construction Trades program teaches basic skills in residential construction as students gain experience in foundation work, rough framing, roofing, siding, drywall, solar panel installation and our newly expanded modules of plumbing and masonry. Students learn how to use and maintain trade tools properly and safely and receive instruction in building codes, blueprint reading and the application of trade math. A great emphasis is placed on hands-on learning through various projects on and off-campus. Eligible students may receive up to six college credits through articulation agreements with Alfred State or SUNY Delhi.
