Construction
career pathway
The Construction Career Pathway explores careers such as carpentry, woodworking, construction management, plumbing, electrician, engineering, technicians, metal workers, and more. Construction Trades are for students who are hands-on, visual learners, are active and work hard, and who enjoy building and making.
The IASC Next Construction Career Pathway prepares students for careers in a wide range of occupations that support construction of commercial, industrial, and residential building and engineering projects. Courses in a Construction Career pathway may include: architectural drafting, pre-construction, construction trades (larger structure buildings), cabinet making, general woodworking, and others. Construction Career Pathway students will learn career skills through hands-on projects and experience with construction tools and technology. Students will also work with industry partners on projects and internships. Students will be exposed to construction occupations throughout their career pathway experiences. This pathway prepares students for the workforce and for post secondary programming through partnership with Mesabi Range College. Construction Careers are a great choice for students who enjoy working with their hands, being in the outdoors, and building quality projects.
