Program Description:

This program prepares adult learners (18+) for entry-level employment in both vertical construction (commercial and residential building) and civil construction (roads, utilities, and site development), culminating in the OSHA-10 Certification and the nationally recognized NCCER Core Curriculum Credential from the National Center for Construction Education and Research. The curriculum is delivered through a standardized Civil & Vertical Construction module sequence (Modules CON-101–CON-108) using the NCCER Core Curriculum framework, supplemented by Skilled US Essentials and Employability Soft Skills pre-training workshops, and individualized 1:1 coaching.

The program is delivered Monday–Friday, 4 hours a day over 8 weeks of in-person instruction in a construction training environment. Two sessions are available: Session 1 (12:00 PM–4:00 PM) and Session 2 (4:30 PM–8:30 PM). Weekly 1:1 coaching supplements hands-on lab time (2 hrs). The program is designed to support apprenticeship entry and long-term career advancement, with regional construction supervisory roles averaging $83,000+. The OSHA-10 completion and NCCER Core Curriculum assessments serve as the Measurable Skill Gain (MSG) indicators for WIOA Title II reporting.
