Construction & Skilled Trades

Explore career opportunities connected to commercial construction, industrial projects, infrastructure, skilled trades, material handling, equipment operations, and other occupations based on employer demand.

Electrical

Build the technical foundation for electrical career pathways through training, safety preparation, industry credentials, and connections to employers and apprenticeship opportunities.

Industrial Automation

Prepare for technical careers involving automation, PLCs, controls, sensors, instrumentation, electrical fundamentals, troubleshooting, and mechatronics.

Drone / UAS

Learn about commercial drone opportunities supporting construction, inspection, mapping, infrastructure documentation, and other growing applications.

Programs may include drone fundamentals, safety and airspace awareness, mission planning, flight operations, mapping, and preparation for applicable credentials.

Train for Real Opportunities

Some UCC programs begin with an employer need.

When a company identifies an upcoming workforce requirement, UCC may build a project-based training cohort around the skills, credentials, and requirements connected to that opportunity.

That can mean:

Recruitment → Training → Credentials → Career Preparation → Employer Connection

The goal is to prepare people for work that actually exists.

Training or participation does not guarantee employment. Hiring decisions remain with the employer.
