COURSES
AWW’s Tool & Equipment Series
THE SAW training session focuses on educating students on how to operate the tools and equipment that assist in creating a successful construction and renovation project.
Our belief is that understanding how to work these tools and where best to utilize them is a very important piece of the construct puzzle.
Breaking barriers: Getting more women into skilled trades
AWW Programs
AWW’s FCC program stands for Foundation Compulsory Courses.
The FCC program is an in-depth introduction program to the construction industry and the skilled trades.
Through the FCC program, students will be given an opportunity to learn about construction trades through hands-on class exercises, virtual reality learning and traditional in-class training.
The FCC program has been developed to give students an understanding of the industry so that they can decide whether a career in the construction trades is right for them.
By introducing students to the tools, employment opportunities, entrepreneurship opportunities that exist in this multi-billion dollar industry, students will have a firm grasp on their career as they move on to AWW’s pre-apprenticeship program courses and eventual career placement.
