Introduction to Craft Skills

Catalog description

Introduction to Craft Skills is taught with NCCER Core Curriculum and is a primer for all other NCCER Level 1 craft curricula (plumbing, carpentry, electrical, welding, industrial maintenance, etc.). Students will learn topics such as Basic Safety, Construction Math, Communication Skills, and Introduction to Construction Drawings. Likewise, all students will complete performance profiles demonstrating applied practice and mastery of those concepts. Completing this curriculum gives the trainee the basic skills needed to continue education in any craft area he or she chooses. The program can also be helpful to the ‘home mechanic’ who wants to practice basic safety when conducting home maintenance, learn to use hand and power tools properly, and read basic schematics and drawings.
