Expanding Construction Education and Training
We are elevating our efforts to broaden construction education and training opportunities. Our goal is to serve all area high schools and also to support adults interested in pursuing careers in the construction trades by providing the essential training they need.
Features of the Trades Education Center
The new training center will offer versatile classroom spaces that can be reconfigured into two smaller rooms, as well as two large shops designed for hands-on training, each with the option to convert into two smaller shop areas. Additional amenities include an outdoor area dedicated to dirt work and heavy equipment training, a fully functional kitchen, a copy room, and a loft meeting/work area ideal for small groups.
Collaborative Curriculum Development
While we plan to offer some targeted trades curriculum, our intention is not to duplicate existing efforts. Instead, we aim to partner with other Montana organizations currently providing or planning to provide trades education and training, offering them a place to implement and expand their curriculum. We also intend to utilize the expertise of the Home Builder Institute for curriculum development and instruction.
