The YouthBuild program combines classroom instruction with hands-on construction experience over 26 weeks. Classes meet Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with two days each week dedicated to on-site learning with Habitat for Humanity and two days focused on classroom instruction. Participants work toward their high school equivalency while completing NCCER Core construction training, OSHA-10, and WIN workplace readiness skills. The curriculum prepares students for entry-level construction employment and continued education or apprenticeship opportunities in the skilled trades. Successful completion of NCCER Core requirements results in an industry-recognized credential through NCCER. Program materials include instructional and online resources, personal protective equipment (PPE), construction lab supplies, and required certification testing.
