WE HAVE ONE GOAL

PREPARING YOU FOR A CAREER IN CONSTRUCTION

WELCOME TO NCCT

Northern California Construction Training

NCCT is a FREE pre-apprenticeship program focused on the building trades. Our primary goal is preparation and placement into the various construction apprenticeships. We can help provide tools, remedial education, and GED preparation if necessary, all at NO COST to you!

In the classroom you will study subjects all related to construction and earn valuable certifications. The math and reading you do learn while in the program will have practical applications that can be applied to your future jobs in the field.

As a part of their training, NCCT students have built homes, parks, and many other community projects. You too can learn how to do all this under the direction of our certified journeyman instructors who have years of experience both in the building trades and in working with students.

NCCT has helped to successfully place over 80% of our graduates into union apprenticeship programs or other construction career pathways and want to help do the same for you!

Preparing For A Career In Construction Involves More Than Just Sitting In A Classroom.

This is why we make sure that you also have the life skills needed for on-the-job training. While in NCCT, you will learn about construction through a combination of classroom instruction as well as real-world experience on a variety of jobsites.

Today I take part in daily tracking progress of scheduled jobs, planning and reading blueprint specifications. The employer offers further education if I desire, decent wages, medical, dental, vision, life insurance and retirement. I have even been able to buy my first brand new car. I am still beside myself with relief. My determination coupled with the great opportunity the NCCT program finally provided MY SUCCESS!

During my exit exam, I had the opportunity to give student feedback about NCCT, but I struggle with anxiety at test taking and wanted to finish as fast as possible. I forgot to express how grateful I am to you and everyone including Allyn. The genuineness of Allyn cannot be missed by anyone, so I feel like there is nothing I can say that hasn't been said before. I learned a lot about the ins and outs of the industry, and Allyn had many pearls of wisdom. Since he shared these, I feel more ready to be a positive part in the industry than I had imagined. NCCT has a great culture and it really shows that you all care deeply about training people and going the extra mile. I will forever be grateful, again to everyone on the team.

NCCT has been very transformative for me. Not only have I been taught practical construction skills, but I have also learned to advocate for myself and communicate better. I earned many useful certifications through this class that helped greatly with finding employment. All instructors were very committed and extremely knowledgeable. The efficiency of the entire NCCT team was almost shocking. I joined the program straight out of high school and landed a job in my chosen field in less than a year. This program was an amazing opportunity and really motivated me to kickstart my life.
