Welcome to the Building Trades program at the WMCTC:

In the Building Trades program students will perform most of the processes required to build a home.  This will include concrete, building walls, floors and roof systems, shingling, insulating, dry-walling, siding, window and door installation, trim and cabinetry work, and ceramic tile.  Students will also be involved in the mechanical systems of the home including plumbing, heating and electrical.  Those entering the program will learn areas of construction consistent with the building stage of the on-going project.  Students who are in the program for two years will likely have the opportunity to be exposed to all areas of residential construction.

The Building Trades Field:

Workers in the building trades field are in the business of making people’s dreams come true. Whether it’s a dream home, an office building, a grocery store or a remodeling job, the construction industry is a popular field in which to build a career.  Job opportunities in this field are expected to be excellent through 2014, particularly for those with the most skills.
