Why is the MCCC a good choice for me?

There are many job openings in Mendocino County for construction related occupations.

Many of the current contractors are preparing to retire. In fact, for every 5 contractors who are planning to retire, only one young person is planning to enter the field. This means that there is an overwhelming shortage of contractors.

That's not all! For the contractors who are currently in business, many of them can not find qualified employees to work for their companies.

Recent Labor Market Information shows that this year, there is an expectation that 77 construction jobs will go unfilled. Those jobs would pay an average beginning wage of $18/per hour if workers could be found (Harwood, 2017).

After gaining some experience, many people in the construction field open their own business. This could be your chance to be your own boss!
