East Central College and COABE have partnered with NCCER and LOWE’S Foundation to offer training in carpentry and construction. This course is designed to prepare you for entry-level positions on project sites by providing the basics in safety, hand and power tools, construction math, materials handling, basic rigging, construction drawings, and employability skills. The goal of our fast track program is to recruit the high number of unemployed Americans into the construction industry and provide them with training, credentials and jobs that lead to high demand, sustainable careers.
