NCCER Core Construction
Funding may be available through the Philip E. & Carole R. Ratcliffe Foundation Scholarships.
A career in the construction trades means working with your hands, and the satisfaction of seeing what you've helped to build. It requires skill, safety, and working knowledge of construction plans and drawings.
Harford Community College uses the National Center for Construction Education and Research's (NCCER) curriculum to introduce students to the construction industry. They provide entry-level knowledge and skills for individuals wanting to enter the construction industry. Instruction includes basic safety, construction math, tools, construction drawings, material handling, employability skills, and more.
For each module completed, students receive NCCER digital badges and those completing the entire program receive the NCCER Core badge.
NCCER credentials are standardized, portable and recognized across the construction industry, helping you display your abilities to employers nationwide.
