Construction Technology

Program Overview

Our Construction Technology program can set you on the path to a rewarding and well-paid career in the skilled trades. Jobs like electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians are in high demand due to a growing shortage of workers and continuous technological advancements. A recent survey of young adults shows they have a strong interest in skilled trades because these roles offer flexibility, job security and a rewarding career. Many programs include paid apprenticeships, allowing you to earn money while you learn!

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 Construction Industry Board of Oklahoma (CIB) for 250 hours of apprenticeship in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing. Gain Entry Level Skills needed 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.
