First course: Industry Fundamentals and Occupational Safety
Second course: Introduction to Construction
Third year: Carpentry I

Construction and Carpentry students will learn the basic knowledge to function safely on or around a construction site and provide them with a solid foundation in carpentry skills and knowledge. The pathway introduces students to four construction craft areas and allows them to gain Level One Industry Certification in one of the craft areas. Students will learn the history and traditions of carpentry, masonry, plumbing, and electrical craft trades and the care and safe use of hand and power tools as they relate to each trade.

Students in the Construction pathway are able to join and compete with SkillsUSA. Throughout the course of the year, students may attend the Champion's Rally, Fall Leadership Conference, Elevate Conference, Regional Competitions, and the State Leadership and Skills Conference.

Students are also eligible to apply for the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS). NTHS is the premier honor society for Career and Technical Education students, drawing on their experiences in the CTAE classroom.
