Building Trades Program

The Building Trades program provides students with the skills and knowledge necessary to enter either residential or commercial construction fields.

Students will construct cabinets and a garage for someone in the area during the fall semester. In the spring, they will build a house in the Ankeny area.

The program includes blueprint reading, takeoff, framing, drywall, trim work, siding, roofing, and concrete.
