25 Gain Valuable Craft Skills By Completing Continuing Education Course

Pathways to Success: Dave Seagle reviews material the class has learned about introductory craft skills before giving them a test.

Twenty-five people earned industry-recognized credentials that will help them get better, higher paying jobs after completing a two-week course at Northeastern Technical College in Dillon.

Dave Seagle was the instructor for the course offered by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), a not-for-profit education foundation created to develop standardized construction
and maintenance curricula and assessments with portable, industry-recognized credentials.

Students who completed the course at NETC's Dillon campus earned credentials that can be tracked by potential employers through the 
NCCER's National Registry. Each graduate of the course received a certificate and wallet card identifying their credentials.

"This is grammar school for people who want to work in the construction industry," Seagle said about the course. "I teach them the language and math that any welder, pipefitter, construction worker or truck driver must know."

He said people who earn these credentials increase their earning potential because prospective employers value workers who have these introductory craft skills not only for the knowledge they gain, but also for safety standards they learn that help prevent injuries on the job site.
