HBI Provides Credentialing for Residential Construction Training

As fall quickly approaches and the 2003-2004 school year gets underway, educational institutions and housing industry training programs  across the country are seeking credentialing from the Home Builders Institute (HBI) by using its Residential Construction Academy Series.

The Central Council Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska Vocational Training and Resource Center, the University of Hawaii — Maui Community College and the Federal Correctional Complex in Petersburg, VA, are among the first to become credentialed.

Institutions with training programs utilizing NAHB’s Residential Construction Skill Standards and using RCA Series textbooks and materials in their instruction are eligible to receive program credentialing.

The RCA Series is a product of a strategic partnership between HBI, the workforce development arm of NAHB, and Thomson-Delmar Learning to develop craft trade instructional textbooks and materials to help educate the next generation of the residential construction industry.

The RCA Series materials are based on skill standards for residential construction developed by HBI and NAHB members and include such titles as: “Carpentry,” “Electrical Principles” and “House Wiring.”

Additions to the series for release next year will focus on plumbing, HVAC and facilities maintenance.

In addition to the links above, further information on the RCA Series is available by e-mailing Steve Kramer.
