Provides an opportunity for those interested in construction to learn more about the current courses offered by VACTE and the College plus paid internships that allow on-the-job training with local contractors
The Valley Academy of Career and Technical Education (VACTE) and Yavapai Community College are jointly sponsoring a construction training information program for the public where those interested in this area of work can find out all about the courses and paid internships being offered. The program will be held November 13 and begins at 6:00 p.m. It will run for about two hours. It will be held at the VACTE training center in Cottonwood, 3405 E. SR 89A, building B (room 2) in Cottonwood.
The November 13 program provides students or adults with the opportunity to meet with industry employers in the Cottonwood/Camp Verde/Sedona areas who will be working with the College and VACTE on this program.
For those interested in a career in construction, courses include training in basic framing, carpentry and building skills, tool and job site safety. Paid internships are available and the courses are certified.
This effort follows the program begun by the College this fall at its Chino Valley Center.
