Instructor Gregg Helmich recently talked with J Brooks (98.7 KISS Country) about the strong local need for Building Trades graduates on a What’s New at NIACC<\/em> segment. He shared that his students graduate with multiple job offers and well-paying jobs.<\/p>\n

Even more important to Helmich is that the class begins to feel like a family, students have each other’s back and work as a team. Besides the expected skills like carpentry, concrete formwork, framing, cabinetry, and millwork, students also learn how to work with people who may be different from themselves, build a crew mentality, and enhance their drive and motivation. In short, they love their work.<\/p>\n

The class also has a lot of fun and each year participates in contests, building exercises, and usually a trip to the World of Concrete Expo<\/a> in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Did we mention that you can also participate in this program tuition free<\/strong>! That’s right, this program is covered by the Future Ready Iowa Last Dollar Scholarship<\/a>, but you must submit your FAFSA<\/a> and NIACC application<\/a> by August 1, 2022, to be eligible.<\/p>\n

You can learn more about this exciting program by following their Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> accounts. Enjoy the show!<\/p>\n
