Activity 2

Hbi's pre-apprenticeship training programs provide at-risk and underserved populations such as youth, veterans, ex-offenders and displaced workers with the opportunity to learn the building trades through hands-on experience. Hbi is available to help communities customize its flexible national skills training model to create programs that best meet the workforce needs of that community's local construction businesses.at the core of this model is hbi's award-winning pre-apprenticeship certificate training (pact) curriculum, which is industry-validated and aligned with the national green building standard (tm) approved by the american national standards institute (ansi). The hbi pact curriculum is one of only three u.s. Department of labor (dol)-approved pre-apprenticeship curricula and is recognized by the dol as a registered apprenticeship innovator and trailblazer.the hbi pact curriculum integrates work-based learning with vocational and academic skills training and includes job readiness, employability skills, career development, life skills and on-the-job training. It evaluates trades and safety skills mastery in these competencies: carpentry, electrical, plumbing, brick masonry, landscaping, facilities maintenance, painting, green building and weatherization. Hbi pact is a uniquely effective training tool because the curriculum is:--easily tailored to typical building projects such as modular construction, remodeling or new construction for local community groups, habitat for humanity, community development, other non-profit developers and public housing.--appropriate for use in teaching special populations, including academically-challenged individuals.--contextual learning that covers the trades plus safety, construction math and tools and materials identification. While it includes the theory and practice of building, hbi pact relies on the time-honored apprenticeship approach for learning craft skills, combining classroom and hands-on training on the job site.--easily navigable with units separated into sections that include overviews, vocabularies of trade-related terms, suggested activities, skills achievement records and resource lists.--enhanced by several additional hbi resources that instructors can use to assess student learning needs, teach fundamental skills and conduct lesson/class activities or share as stand-alone exercises. These include green home building guidelines and instructional videos; workplace math, literacy and communications supplements; safety briefs; entrepreneurial and placement assistance; and assessmenttools and tests.
