So, you’re ready to build a career in construction. Before you start your job search, consider getting some basic training under your belt by enrolling in a Construction Skills Bootcamp. Here’s why.
1. You’ll earn certifications and skills that will make you a top job candidate.
Time and time again, Construction Skills Bootcamp graduates have earned higher starting wages and been promoted faster than other job candidates. In fact, our graduates earn an average of $18 per hour, which is $1 more than the typical construction laborer in Colorado (source: bls.gov).
“I’ve seen managers bypass their own HR hiring processes to get our students in the door. Employers know that if you complete this training, you have a solid foundation of job skills and you’re open to continuing your education. Your OSHA 10 certification on its own is good for at least $1 more per hour starting out.”
–Mark Babcock, Instructor
