Welcome to NPT Region III's Construction Technology
Students learn in a well-equipped newly constructed modern shop at Region III Lincoln facility. In addition to the cabinet shop, a newly constructed lab utilizes modern equipment to design and build small buildings using modern building concepts. A wide variety of projects challenge students in a live real-world atmosphere. Projects range from digital computer design, rough framing of buildings, roofs, decks and application of siding to interior fine finish woodworking. Student’s daily plan and design layout projects from start to finish working directly with customers. The live work learning experience develops confidence and skill in a supportive and challenging environment.
Hands-On Training
Students attend the program every other day alternating Region III with their sending school. This is a full day program; the student begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m. The program is tailored to meet different student’s goals from rough framing (larger framed buildings) to fine woodworking (cabinets or built-in finish projects).
From basic hand tools to modern larger stationary millwork equipment, students will learn to become comfortable with all their uses and awesome potential.
