Construction Academy: October 2019
CCDI’s October Construction Academy was hosted at North Technical High School. The session’s topic was “Trades Day” and led by Mr. Hanneken and 9 of our CCDI/North Tech Alums. We had 31 new students from local high schools participate in hands-on stations to learn introductory skills related to floor laying, painting, carpentry, electrical, and HVAC. A big thank you goes out to Flooring Systems for donating materials for our floor laying station. We also want to recognize Mr. Hanneken for organizing the days activities and his continued support of the CCDI program. Thank you for making this academy a huge success!
Construction Academy: September 2018
CCDI was so excited to welcome a new class of students to 2019-2020 Construction Academy! We spent this first class getting introduced to one another and giving the students an overview of some of the many things they will be learning this year!
