Sitting Bull College students build tiny home through hands-on trades program
Campus project ties classroom lessons to job-site carpentry skills
Students in the Building Trades program at Sitting Bull College are working on a new tiny home addition on campus as part of their hands-on training, according to Sitting Bull College.
Program participants are currently preparing the structure for siding and roofing by securing paper and felt to the exterior, steps that help prepare the building for the next stages of construction. The work is part of the college’s Building Trades Certificate Program, which provides classroom instruction and practical job-site experience.
According to Sitting Bull College, the program follows curriculum guidelines established by the Associated General Contractors of America and the National Center for Construction and Education and Research. Students who complete the program graduate with a foundation for entry-level carpentry work, with employment opportunities available through building contractors, lumber yards and maintenance shops.
