Program Description
This program is designed for students wanting to complete a one semester Certificate in Construction Fundamentals and enter the workforce. Students explore math and science applications for construction, job site tours, classroom theory and OSHA standards. Construction Trades certificates prepare entry-level employees to enter into an apprenticeship or employer training program. This program prepares students for entry-level career paths in various construction industry settings. Certificate completion demonstrates that job applicants are dedicated to their chosen trade, understand the process of construction, have been properly trained in OSHA safety standards, the use of tools, and print reading. In addition to proficiency in essential entry-level skills, instruction in professionalism is embedded in all courses resulting in certificate completers with skills for learning, work ethic, and the attitudes that employers value most. Strong communication and support between industry partners, secondary partners, and FRCC ensures that curriculum is up-to-date and provides an employment advantage to certificate holders.
