Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, CITC will implement a Consumable Materials Fee. All students will be required to pay the materials fee by credit card at time of registration.
As the field of construction becomes more dependent on the use of complex equipment and machinery and a broader selection of materials and techniques, the construction craft Laborer is increasingly expected to have enhanced competencies in understanding, using, and managing resources, information, and technology. They also need to have good communication skills, and interpersonal skills. CITC’s three-year program prepares Laborer to perform a wide range of physically demanding tasks involving building and highway construction, underground construction, paving, and demolition. All classes will place an emphasis on safety training and awareness along with discussing environmental concerns and best practices related to the work performed.
Students will be required to have access to a computer or tablet device with a working camera and microphone. Additionally, all students will need to have access to a reliable internet source when classes begin in the fall. For additional information on the technical requirements for this program please contact the CITC office at (1-877) 707-2482.
Note: It is crucial that students have the required physical textbooks and class materials by the first day of class. Students will be instructed on how to purchase the required e-text(s) on the first day of class. A student who does not have all required e-texts, textbooks and materials by the end of the second week may be dismissed from class and charged with an absence. To purchase the stand alone NCCERConnect with e-text, students will need a Course ID #. Course ID will be provided by the course instructor. CITC Instructor will provide the Course ID no later than the first day of class. Students are expected to purchase the required e-texts during the first day of class.
CITC strives to offer a variety of class schedules and locations for students to select from. To ensure your place in a class of your choice CITC encourages your registration as soon as registration opens. Registration is on a first come, first served basis. If the class you have selected is full, you will be transferred into the next available class at the CITC facility nearest your home zip code.
