Program Overview
|
The Vocational Construction Technology program, in collaboration with the LA/OC Building and Construction Trades Council, is an Apprenticeship Readiness program. It provides a gateway for people of all backgrounds to gain access to North America’s Building Trade Union (NABTU) registered apprenticeship program. The program teaches NABTU’s nationally recognized Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3). The program is designed to help adults choose and succeed in apprenticeship programs that are appropriate for them. This program is not 100% hands-on training but still prepares someone to obtain a union apprenticeship.
Program Length:
The program is 10 weeks. Classes are held Monday thru Thursday from 5-9pm.
