Construction Schools

Online Programs?  Apprenticeship?  Hands-On Training?  How Will You Learn Construction?

There are three basic types of educational routes young women can follow to achieve an education in construction industry.
  • Work your way up the ladder on actual construction jobs. 
  • Serve an apprenticeship or an internship. 
  • Study at an accredited school.
Not every option is viable for everyone. Some find that they are able to learn a trade with a hands-on approach by working on a construction site, while others find a structured apprentice program beneficial. Certainly, the best salaries are offered to those with a degree in the industry. And it might be easier to get that degree than you think.

Builder Chicks is dedicated to helping you find apprenticeship programs and we are here to give you information about higher education opportunities in construction. There is no “right” way. There’s only the way that’s best for you.
