Building Trades

Opportunities abound for trained construction and renovation professionals. Students in the Building Trades program at the Albany campus learn through standardized craft training programs developed by the Home Builders Institute (HBI) and the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER).

On-campus and community projects provide valuable real-life experience. Students who pass written exams and performance tests gain a portable skill set and may earn HBI and NCCER certifications, which are recognized by contractors and employers nationwide. Upon completion, they may enter the workforce or continue their education at the college level.
