HBI Continues to Support Online Learning Initiatives
To support online learning during this time, HBI is offering a promotion to the first 25 organizations that sign or renew a Pre-Apprenticeship Certification Training (PACT) license. The PACT training system for students is based on HBI’s National Construction Skill Standards and NAHB’s National Green Building Standards™. The offer includes receiving up to 20 industry-recognized student certificates for free, a $1,500 value.
HBI is hosting a webinar on June 3 for those interested in learning more about signing or renewing a PACT license and integrating it with online learning. Webinar attendees will be able to speak with a current PACT licensee to help determine if PACT is right for their own organization or school.
In addition, HBI’s free online learning tool, CTEtechWorks, has been extended to June 30. This initiative supports building-trades students continue learning online while schools are closed. The Flexible Instruction Day (FID) material does not require textbooks or workbooks to accommodate self-paced student learning. Fundamental knowledge and skills, such as safety, communication, social media presence and interviewing are examples of subject areas that will be organized into online learning paths.
