Areas of emphasis include renewable energy, air conditioning & heating, construction management, electrical, fine woodworking and plumbing. We teach real skills for real jobs.

Students range from high school students looking to jump-start their careers to construction professionals taking an occasional class to upgrade their job skills or add supervision skills to their resume. Most classes are scheduled in the evenings, allowing students to further their education without interrupting their careers.

Transfer agreements with local high school construction trades and math programs in Denver, Jefferson County, Adams County and Boulder encourage high school students to continue their education and training after graduation.

Partnerships with industry organizations encourage working professionals to add to skills they have already acquired. Agreements with groups like IBEW/NECA and Joint Apprenticeship Training Committees (via Emily Griffith Opportunity School) award college credit towards an Associate of Applied Science degree to craftspeople who have completed apprentice training.
