CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY
The Construction Technology program trains students to become carpenters, electricians,
drafting technicians, and for advanced-level laborer positions. Additionally, Certificates of
Proficiency recognizing concentrated study in specific trades are available for Architectural
Drafting, AutoCAD Specialist, Building Maintenance, Cabinetmaking, Carpentry, Supervision,
and Wiring Electrician.
Local career opportunities exist in Northland district communities in varying degrees but
the local areas may not be able to absorb all graduates. Except for those employed by
government agencies, schools, and other private and public institutions, local employment is
subject to seasonal and economic factors.
