Rogue Community College, in conjunction with the Oregon Building Congress is pleased to announce openings for the 2010 Southern Oregon Construction Academy (SOCA) Program.

The Program is open to male and female high school students who have considered a career in architecture, construction or engineering. Students must be 16 years old by the time the program begins June 21, 2010.

We are looking for students who like the outdoors, have a strong work ethic, willing and eager to learn and are physically fit.

Students will work in a team to complete construction projects in Jackson & Josephine Counties. The program combines real-life building with hands-on educational field days so students will learn about math, construction, life skills and construction-related career opportunities. Participants will earn $8.40 per hour for all learning and working time.

Construction Academy participants will work Monday-Thursday from June 21-August 12, 2010. A closing ceremony will be held on Friday August 13 and we encourage students to attend. Students will work 32 hours per week for eight weeks. Work start and end times may vary due to weather, project requirements, other activities or when travel for a field trip requires a minor shift in working hours. Students are responsible for meeting at a designated place each day.
