- If you're wanting to be a
part of this exciting time,
I would encourage you to enroll
in our construction
technology program now.
(upbeat music)
My name is Javier Rivera.
I am professor of
construction technologies
here at Long Beach City College.
Our program is designed to
assist the student wanting
to get into the construction trades
in areas such as home remodeling,
construction technologies,
pre-apprenticeship trainings
are the third pathway that we offer,
and our students are being trained
to go out into the job market.
And the construction industry is booming.
We are being asked,
almost on a daily basis,
to fill positions throughout the city
and outside of the city.
- I decided to get into this program
because I'm changing careers.
This is my first semester
and we're currently
doing an 8-week program
in which we learn blueprint reading,
framing,
using of tools.
My dad used to work in construction
and I have daddy work at home
and for friends and family members.
Most of all, I enjoy
building and designing
living in something I can build myself.
I highly recommend construction technology
for anyone who's looking
into a career change.
- If you want to get
into a high-paying job,
that you come take a look at
what we have here to offer
at Long Beach City College.
