Construction Technology
Program Overview
Build the future you want, literally. Construction is projected to be one of the most highly demanded jobs through 2022, with an estimated 1.4 million NEW craft professionals needed according to the Construction Labor Market Analyzer, October 2018. Tri County Tech’s Construction Technology program prepares students to meet that demand and begin a career in the trades. With pathways into carpentry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more, this program provides a foundation of skills that will help you be successful in the industry. Upon completion of the program, students will earn six nationally recognized NCCER (National Center of Construction Education and Research) Level 1 certifications covering all four trades, along with an OSHA 10 certification and forklift license. This program has been approved by the Mechanical Construction Industry (CIB) Board for 250 hours of apprenticeship in HVAC. Work with your hands to build the future you want, learn proper techniques to be successful in the industry, and start your career as a craft professional.
“My favorite thing about the construction program at Tri County is that we go beyond the textbook, we get exposed to a lot of things out there in the shop.” – Adrian P., 2019

Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is available through the Tri County Tech Foundation for Full Time & Flex programs, as well as some Fast Track programs. After you are accepted into a program, you will receive a financial assistance application. The form must be filled out and turned in with the most recent two months of pay stubs for every working member of your household.
Our main goal for financial assistance at Tri County Tech is to provide assistance for financially disadvantaged students who would be unable to get the education they deserve. Assistance consists of grants, scholarships, and employment. An individual might participate in one or more resources, depending upon eligibility and need.
We do not accept funds from FAFSA or PELL.
