SEMCA's electrical trades training program provides rigorous hands-on training that allows students to take what they learn in the classroom and apply the skills in on-the-job settings. The program follows the industry-recognized curriculum of the National Center for Construction Education & Research and was developed with the support of more than 125 construction CEOs and various associations and academic leaders who united to revolutionize training for the construction industry. NCCER develops standardized construction and maintenance curricula and assessments with portable credentials. These credentials are tracked through NCCER’s National Registry, which allows organizations and companies to track the qualifications of their craft professionals and/or check the qualifications of possible new hires. The National Registry also assists craft professionals by maintaining their records in a secure database.
The Southeast Michigan Construction Academy meets and exceeds all the required standards of the nationally standardized program. As a result, each student has a credential listed in a national registry that can be easily transferred among accredited sponsors and throughout the industry. In other words, a student can take their transcripts to any other participating NCCER sponsor and continue training.
