The curriculum at the JDEC is structured in two phases. Phase one introduces students to a pre-construction curriculum, a soft skills curriculum, and personal well being. The pre-construction curriculum includes the OSHA 10 hour safety certification and the NCEERs Introduction to Basic Construction Skills. Accompanying this classroom instruction, students are expected to participate in a class for personal finance, counseling, possibly substance abuse, and Mike Rowes sweat curriculum. Phase one is approximately 16 weeks long.Phase two includes pre-apprenticeship training. During this phase, and through our partnerships in the construction management and sub-contracting industries, students will receive on-site training as well as 144 hours of classroom instruction. During this time, students may receive pay from either the sponsoring partner or the Department of Labor. Students may stay at the JDEC until they have completed their pre-apprenticeship hours or have turned 18 and are able to enter the workforce. If a student desires, he/she may stay at the JDEC until they turn 19. Upon completion of programs, a student will be prepared to enter into an apprenticeship in either electrical, plumbing, or welding.
