After.
This isn't a classroom lecture. You spend the week rotating through the trades that built the Treasure Coast — and the ones hiring right now. By Friday, you're meeting the people who'll write your first check.
Electrical
Wiring, circuits, and the work that keeps the coast powered.
HVAC
Cooling systems Florida can't live without. Literally.
Carpentry
Framing, finish work, and the craft behind every home.
Plumbing
The skill nobody thinks about until they need it most.
Masonry
Block, brick, and the foundations everything sits on.
Welding*
Steel, sparks, and one of the highest-paying entry trades.
Auto*
Hands-on with the vehicles every job site relies on.
Roofing*
Florida's most in-demand trade. Year-round work.
Drafting & Design
Where blueprints start. Tech-forward, problem-solving work.
Screening
Pool cages, lanais, and a year-round Florida specialty.

They Showed Up.
Then Got Hired.
CCW graduates land in Treasure Coast companies — sometimes on the same day they meet the hiring manager.
Hands-on experience and a better idea of what career paths are out there. I'm really glad I got the chance to be part of it. I still talk about it to this day.
I felt more confident after seeing and doing things first-hand. Telling employers I went to the course shows I'm serious. It gave me a better chance.
[Employer quote — ideally a hiring manager from a 2025 or 2026 cohort talking about hiring CCW grads. Short, punchy, names the company.]
Companies Ready
