The MCC Construction Trades Technology Program is a Career & Technical Education (CTE) Dual Credit class only available to high school students. Classes are held at Northeast Lauderdale High School, Ross Collins Career and Technical Center, and Southeast Lauderdale High School.
The 30-hour Construction Trades Certificate program is now delivered through a dual credit model on-site at participating high schools. By embedding college-level instruction within high school CTE programs, students gain early access to industry credentials, develop career readiness skills, and establish clear pathways into postsecondary education and the workforce.
