Milton Hershey School advanced carpentry students broke ground on a new staff home. The class learned the fundamentals skills required of a residential carpenter and will now participate in the phases of onsite construction in framing and finishing a house. Construction/Carpentry is one of 11 career pathways in the School’s Career/Technical Education programs. In the Carpentry/Construction pathway students can earn the OSHA Safety and Health CareerSafe certification. The project will take students two years to complete.
The goal of projects like this and other CTE pathways is to give students options so that they can lead successful and meaningful lives.
