Pathway Description

This pathway prepares students for a variety of careers in building trades, architecture, and interior design. Students see projects through drafting, building, renovating, and designing phases while applying a variety of academic knowledge and skills.

Pathway Courses

Carpentry

Carpentry prepares students for the pathway with the ability to plan projects, read and draft blueprints, operate shop power and hand tools, set up and maintain equipment, and develop hands-on experience in the carpentry trade. Students explore design possibilities, construction methods, and different set-ups to achieve the completion of structures. In this course, students develop skills, knowledge, and experience to qualify as a carpenter’s helper/laborer as well as earn credit hours towards an apprenticeship with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters.

Cabinetry and Woodworking

Cabinetry and Woodworking is the second level of the CCD pathway and provides students with the knowledge, experience, and skills to produce fine woodworking, mill, and cabinetry products. Students analyze blueprints, create products, and work on actual projects requested within the community. This course prepares students to work in the field of cabinetry, furniture, flooring, finishing, etc. Students will have the opportunity to work towards three articulated credits through Delaware Technical Community College in Intro to CAD using Auto CAD applicable in the following areas:

Architectural Engineering Technology: 3 articulated credits
Civil Engineering Technology: 3 articulated credits
Computer-Aided Drafting Design Technology: 3 articulated credits
Environmental Engineering Technology: 3 articulated credits
Surveying & Geomatics Engineering Technology: 3 articulated credits

CCD Applications

CCD Applications is a capstone course that provides every student with the opportunity to master skills and techniques in a more career-specific method. Students will design and complete an intricate and comprehensive project of choice to document all necessary skills required for the Career Connection Certificate and 1-year Apprentice Credit through the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee. Students will practice and show mastery in project drafting, design, estimation, preparation, and construction implementation. Students may also have the option to test for International Code Council Certification and International Surface Fabrication Association Certification (countertop and solid surface fabrication).
