Our Building Trades program prepares students for jobs in the building, contracting and remodeling industries through classroom and hands-on training to teach students the fundamentals of Blueprint Reading, Electricity, Carpentry, Plumbing, Masonry, and Heating and Air Systems. The focus of these classes is for students to learn the skills necessary to apply their knowledge to common problems they may face on the job, by designing and building a house right in their lab at the JVS!
With the foundation and basic structure now complete (including siding and shingles) our students are now wiring the home for electricity and learning finishing carpentry techniques. Next, our students will be laying flooring and installing the plumbing for the kitchen and bathroom. We'll be sure to provide photos to share their progress!
