Prestonsburg, Ky. (WMDJ) - Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC) has a Construction Technology program that prepares students for entry-level positions in the construction industry.

Combining classroom lectures with hands-on experience in the lab and on-site projects, students gain practical skills essential for success in the field. Additionally, the program is an excellent foundation for students interested in pursuing careers in construction management, civil engineering, or architectural design.

A highlight of the program is the annual construction project known as the "Mayo Home." Students apply their classroom knowledge each year by constructing a home from start to finish. Proceeds from the Mayo Home fund and sale the following year's project creating a sustainable learning and community contribution cycle.

"This learning approach allows students to apply what they have learned practically," says Adam McGinnis, Assistant Professor-Construction Technology. "We are excited to see our students develop valuable skills and positively impact the community."
