    Classroom Work consists of GED/ABE, leadership development, conflict and anger management, job development, construction skills course work based on the pre-apprenticeship program of union carpenters, 10 hours of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training, and Workin' it Out, an on-the-job conflict management skills training.
  • Vocational - On-Site Work
    On-Site Work consists of rehabilitation of at least one home and the construction of one new home. Rehabilitation is designed to include carpentry, electrical, roofing, landscaping, plumbing, dry walling, replacing doors and windows, framing, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) work. New construction skills are the same as rehabilitation, with the addition of getting blueprints approved, requesting permits, bidding scheduling, ordering materials, digging for foundations, concrete framework and masonry, getting new homeowners approved, and sale of structures.
