LA County Office of Education and Probation Dept. Open Construction Training Program at Challenger Hall

A ribbon-cutting was held recently for a new construction trades training program at Challenger Hall in Lancaster.  Juvenile offenders will be trained in up to 20 trades skills, including carpentry, masonry, and plumbing in the "BuildingSkills:  Construction Careers for the 21st Century" program.  Completers may earn career-technical education credits for high school as well as a general industry certification offered by OSHA.  The program is planned to be expanded to three other camps, eventually serving up to 200 students annually.  http://hometownstation.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=28748:probation-education-vocational-clarita-2012-03-28-14-32&catid=26:local-news&Itemid=97
