Trades Math Course Description: This training program is designed for those who have had algebra previously, but need a refresher. The Assessment Coordinator will work individually with student referrals to determine the best way to assist and prepare them for the class. This class is intended to boost math skills - it is not graded nor is it pass/fail. It is a supportive learning experience, and the Instructor provides a final evaluation of math skills with recommended "next steps" to benefit the student.  

Pre-requisites:

  • Basic high school algebra, even if it was a long time ago!
  • Construction experience in any trade is helpful due to the contextual curriculum.
