BRING THE CAREERS IN CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM TO YOUR SCHOOL
GETTING STARTED
CICC is dedicated to partnering closely with every school to support, fund, and employ students to guarantee the program’s success in their area. To effectively launch this program and ensure long-term success, securing program buy-in and sustained support from administration is a top priority.
Prerequisites
• Eligible schools must secure full support and buy-in from the school district to host the program.
• Eligible schools must identify at least 1 qualified full-time instructor. This instructor must be a school staff member.
• Eligible schools must have adequate classroom (shop) space to teach HBI PACT curriculum.
SCHOOL RESPONSIBILITIES
To successfully host the Careers in Construction program, schools are expected to provide the classroom space to conduct the program as well as the instructor(s) to lead the curriculum. Chapters provide and fund the HBI Curriculum License agreements for each school hosting the Careers in Construction program. School district and admin support is essential to successfully recruit students to enroll in the program.
INSTRUCTOR RESPONSIBILITIES
School instructors for the Careers in Construction program are responsible for the following:
- Attend training conferences.
- Utilize HBI curriculum and ensure students acquire PACT certificates.
- Attend instructor meetings as they arise.
- Work directly with chapter staff in the classroom to teach students employability skills.
- Ensure students complete surveys to gauge student interest and employability information.
- Evaluate students and make recommendations for internships and/or employment.
- Clearly communicate student interests, strengths, and barriers to performance with the Chapter staff.
INSTRUCTOR SUPPORT
Support for program instructors continues after instructor training. Each Chapter provides support throughout the entire program and provides instructors with the resources they need to be successful. Examples of support may include:
- Connecting instructors with industry experts who can facilitate learning in specific areas and provide hands-on demos. For instance:
–I am not prepared to teach the roofing curriculum. I need support . . .
–My class is really interested in learning about electricians . . . - Connecting instructors from various partner schools to discuss and share tips and tricks for program success.
- The Home Builders Institute (HBI) regularly posts instruction videos to compliment curriculum.
