Students say Construction Ready gave safety skills and nationwide credentials
Summary
Two participants at Perry Career Academy described safety training and credentials from the Construction Ready program they said are portable nationwide and will support entry into construction careers.
A meeting participant said the program taught safety and "even the bad parts about it," which increased their interest in the construction field and validated a hands‑on career preference. The speaker explained they have been "hands on" and that the program deepened their interest in construction generally.
Another meeting participant highlighted credentials earned during the course: "1 thing I'll take from this program is credentials I've earned throughout this 20 day program." The participant said the credentials are usable nationwide and that they plan to apply them to pursue careers and grow within the construction industry.
