Free construction training at UH Maui College begins next week

Beginning next week, the University of Hawaiʻi Maui College will offer a comprehensive range of free construction training courses that will continue through this Fall 2024 semester.

It starts with a one-week Basic Carpentry course, running from Monday, Aug. 12 to Friday, Aug. 16, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., daily. Participants will dive right in to hands-on training by building a Hale Pāpaʻi – an 8 foot by 12 foot storage shed – complete from framing to painting.

Other Fall 2024 courses include building maintenance, OSHA 10, AutoCad, and more.  

“This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to gain valuable experience and knowledge in the construction field at absolutely no cost,” said UH Maui College Dean of Career and Technical Education Laura Lees Nagle.

Spaces for these courses are limited. Call 808-984-3700 to secure a spot.
