Construction Technology

Course Description

The Construction Tech course at Pankow introduces students to the construction industry. This is one of the most hands-on courses at Pankow.  Roughly 70% of a student’s time in the course is spent in the shop directly working on projects.  Students spend roughly 30 minutes a day covering content in class and the other 70 minutes in the shop applying their skills.  Projects include corn hole boards, a mock house, dog houses, deer blinds and more.  Students are given the opportunity to earn the Michigan Residential Builders License Pre-Licensure Course certificate, the Home Builder’s Association of Michigan certificate, the OSHA 10-hour safety certificate, and The National Brotherhood of Carpenters and Millwrights apprenticeship articulation credentials.  Additional micro credentials are offered throughout the course and students will create a digital portfolio to showcase their work in the course.  For project pictures and more information, see our Facebook page and YouTube channel by searching for “Pankow Construction” on each platform.
