Preservation Construction Trades
Certificate

This program is designed for students to learn the historic preservation trades.  Students graduating from this program can go to work for preservation contractors, not-for-profit preservation housing developers, private property developers, home builders, cabinet shops or open their own businesses.  The program will be structured so students will attend classes for part of the day and then work on one of the Renaissance's historic restorations for the balance of the day.
