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!

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.
