Construction Technology
There is always a need for buildings, and Sierra College has a department to give all the training that students like you will need to construct the homes and offices of tomorrow. The Construction Technology curriculum is designed to give students broad training not only in a specific trade, but in a variety of useful academic subjects as well. Whether you want to be a contractor, remodeler, cabinet maker, building inspector, or a carpenter, we have an option for you.
