Gold Star Construction Program
The Gold Star Construction Program provides students with a first hand opportunity to apply their construction skills on a real job site. Students in this program, through the support of Mason Homes, will complete their credits for a semester while building a home within the Mason Homes project. Some students will also have an opportunity to work with other trades people such as plumbers and electricians.
The Gold Star Program is also unique in that an LCVI teacher will be on site at all times to teach and oversee student projects. This is a first for the area. At the end of a semester working on site, students have the potential to complete 2 Senior Level Construction Technology Credits along with 2 Cooperative Education Credits. This opportunity will also place students in an excellent position to begin their apprenticeship in the construction trades and to pursue a summer job in the construction industry.
