The MVCTC Construction Technology program will introduce students to all facets of residential construction along with many areas of commercial construction (such as network cabling, post and beam construction). The program will equip students with the skills necessary to enter a construction and architectural pathway in college or to enter the workforce.
MVCTC Construction Technology students study and are trained in areas including Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training, the National Center of Construction and Education Research (NCCER) Construction Technology curriculum, C-Tech Network Cabling Training and Contren Connect on-line training. All of these skills are put to the test as students work on designing and building an entry for the Miami Valley National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), "Welcome Entry Way Contest" and Sinclair Tech Prep Showcase. The Construction Technology program students have won or placed in both of these contest each of the last five years. Students in this program also make recommendations for the Dayton Habitat for Humanity house built on the MVCTC campus each year, and additionally work on local client projects, such as the picnic shelter built for the Kelptz YMCA in Englewood.
The MVCTC Construction Technology program students have entered many different construction trade areas for employment after graduation, including: heating and air conditioning service technicians, electricians, framers, interior finishers, network cabling installers, roofers, maintenance technicians and plumbers. Many students further their education as an apprentice and/or enter college in a related field of study.
