For the Rapids City Times

WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Mid-State Technical College will launch a new Construction Trades technical diploma program this spring, with classes starting the week of Jan. 2 on the Wisconsin Rapids campus. The program can be completed in 12 weeks, with classes on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

The Construction Trades technical diploma was developed with input from local employers to provide the foundation knowledge and experience to get started in the construction, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and pipefitting fields. Through exposure to multiple fields and industries, graduates are prepared to enter the trade they choose. Coursework also counts toward Unpaid Related Instruction (URI) or “night school” for those entering into an apprenticeship program.
