About the Program

The three areas of carpentry, electrical wiring, and plumbing comprise the course of study in Building Trades I and II. (Masonry is a stand-alone course.) Students further their studies in each of these fields and begin to specialize in their highest area of interest. Actual hands-on practice gives the students valuable experience as they develop their skills. As part of their work, students will assemble a floor, wall, and roof section from plans as well as install electrical and plumbing systems typically found in residential structures. Participation in SkillsUSA student organization activities is required.
