Sheds Nearing Completion!!!

SHEDS NEARING COMPLETION!!!

The Construction Careers Academy students have been very busy this past month learning how to frame, sheath, floor, truss and roof their sheds. Each team of 4 students is working on a different style shed -- 4 designs are under construction. Each team is adding their own design options to the finished product -- a composite versus shake roof; T-111, batten and hardy plank have been the siding options -- one shed even has a front porch! Border and Sons Quality Roofing provided a roofing demonstration giving students helpful hints to ensure a leak-free end product. Come spring, three of the sheds will be sold to help the program recover the cost of materials and one shed will be auctioned by the BIA with the proceeds going towards a CCA student scholarship. Over the next 4 weeks, students will be preparing for their paid internships through worksite visits, practicing their interview techniques, filling out job applications, and gathering the necessary documents to verify they are job ready.
