What Types of People Pursue Trades Training?

Through short-term (6 or 13 months), employment-focused skills training, Orleans Technical College trains students in five areas of the building and construction trades. Taught by industry-experienced instructors, the training curriculum is hands-on and real-world: we expose students to the systems, technologies, equipment and tools of the trade. We provide opportunities for industry credentials, and offer job placement assistance through our network of local employer partners.
