What is a Construction Craft Laborer?

Construction Craft Laborers perform general to semi-skilled tasks in many areas of construction. They are needed on all construction job sites.  They usually perform very physical demanding tasks like loading and unloading, measuring and marking, assembling and disassembling scaffolding, or digging and raking.

What do you need to enroll in The Prosperity Christian Resource and Community Housing Development Center's, Construction Craft Laborer Education Program?

• A commitment to get your GED or high school diploma, if you don't have one.  Good math and reading skills are important to learning the trade's basics, operating tools and working safely.
• A commitment to get your driver's license if you don't have it. A license is as crucial as a pair of work boots-you need both to get to the job site.
• An eye for detail. Enjoy working with your hands.

Is Construction Craft Laborer Education for you?

A Construction Craft Laborer career is a rewarding and very much in demand. Without construction craft laborers, commercial and residential buildings could not be built or repaired!

The work can keep you physically active - bending, standing, climbing, and kneeling, are part of the job. Construction Craft Laborers work indoors and outdoors, and use heavy or rough materials, sharp tools and power equipment. 

Some construction craft laborers will work for one employer for many years. Some may change employers each time they finish a job.  Construction craft laborers with skills in all aspects of the trade work more steadily because they are more flexible and can be utilized to handle many more tasks on jobsites.
