There Napa County Chapter meets in American Canyon at American Canyon High School.
The American Canyon Chapter is led by Coordinator Chuck Peckingpaugh.
Dinner is served to the students at every meeting, and local contractors come in to talk about their trade, including how they got started and trained for their career and what a typical day looks like when you get into construction.
Every night a hands-on activity takes place to teach basic construction skills that industry needs.
Here is a sample of topics and certifications offered during the program:
“The heavy equipment day was great. Operating the excavator gave me a good idea of how powerful these machines are. It made me want to pursue this type of job.”
“I have a positive feeling about the connections students in the Napa Chapter are making with general contractors and tradesmen and tradeswomen. These are real-world connections that will help them make a smooth transition from school to work.”
