In partnership with the Northwest College of Construction, OBC will offer a workshop for 15 high school construction technology teachers and their math counterparts to earn National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) certification. Teachers who complete the three-day NCCER training will become NCCER-certified instructors who can then certify their students. Teachers will then spend two days learning about carpentry, sheet-metal, electrical and laborers apprenticeships, how they work and what students need to get in.NCCER curriculum is used by many of the union and open-shop apprenticeship training centers. The comprehensive curriculum includes instruction in math, science, construction skills, safety, communication and writing skills as they are used in the construction trades. The NCCER curriculum is unique in that it is:
- Competency-based with measurable objectives
- Developed by industry experts and educators
- Modular in format for flexibility and task training
- Compliant with the Office of Apprenticeship requirements for time-based training
- Portable, industry-recognized credentials
