The BUILT NoCO program brings construction-based vocational education to students in participating schools across Northern Colorado. Through this program, students have the opportunity to enroll in construction courses offered as electives, where they can explore career pathways within the construction industry.
Students gain hands-on experience and are guided through industry-recognized training developed by the Home Builders Institute (HBI). The program also provides opportunities for students to earn certificates recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor, while gaining access to internships, job shadowing, and entry-level positions in the construction field.
The nationally recognized Pre-Apprenticeship Certificate Training (PACT) from the Home Builders Institute (HBI) forms the foundation of the curriculum facilitated by Careers in Construction Colorado and its chapters. Vetted by subject matter experts, PACT guarantees students will learn residential construction focused skills, receive hands-on training, and master the knowledge needed for an entry-level job in the building industry.
