Confederation College’s Construction Techniques one-year certificate program will provide you with hands-on skills along with in-class learning to give you a strong background in the construction industry from blueprint reading and an overview of construction materials to review of the building process from start to finish. Coursework includes construction materials and methods, applied mathematics, computer-aided drafting (CAD), introduction to masonry and building construction practices.

Graduates of the Construction Techniques program will be able to immediately apply for general labourer jobs with companies and construction sites across northwestern Ontario. You’ll be able to build upon your skills in the field and perhaps even specialize in certain areas.
