Construction
The Construction career pathway covers the full spectrum of designing, planning, managing, building, and maintaining the built environment — from residential homes and commercial buildings to large-scale infrastructure projects. This pathway emphasizes sustainable building practices and resilient design, with roles ranging from architects, civil engineers, and CAD technicians in the pre-construction phase, to general contractors, project managers, and skilled tradespeople on-site, to facilities coordinators and HVAC specialists in maintenance and operations.
