Instruction is given in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and masonry trades.
The training includes the use of tools, construction safety, and the reading of floor plans and blueprints. Emphasis is placed on how to layout, construct, and finish various parts of a structure such as walls, ceilings, and floors, and how to install electrical fixtures and waste and supply lines in residential buildings. This knowledge will include a basic knowledge of tools, materials, and equipment used in the trade. With the expertise that they acquire, they may either work for a contractor as an apprentice or go into business for themselves.
