The Building and Construction Trades sector is a great choice for students who enjoy working with their hands, building things, and learning how structures and systems work. This sector introduces students to careers in construction, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and engineering-related fields. Through hands-on projects, students learn how to safely use tools, read blueprints, and understand how buildings and mechanical systems are designed and built. Pathways include Cabinetry and Woodworking, Engineering and Heavy Construction, Mechanical Systems, and Residential and Commercial Construction. These courses help students build real-world skills that lead to college, apprenticeships, or direct entry into a high-demand career.
