High School Builder Program
NCCER’s High School Builder Program helps high schools start or grow their CTE programs, increasing access to the skills and credentials needed for successful careers in the construction industry.
Empowering Students with Career-Ready Skills
Every high school should have a CTE program to provide students with hands-on experience, valuable skills that lead to meaningful careers and industry-recognized credentials. However, many schools face financial barriers that prevent them from offering these essential programs. Through donor support, the High School Builder Program allows schools to start or expand their CTE programs and ensue that more students have the opportunity to gain a head start on building a successful and fulfilling career in construction.
