On-the-Job Construction Training Program
If you are looking for a career to create financial wellness for yourself and your family, residential construction might be for you.
Houston Habitat for Humanity has been teaching volunteers to build homes for more than 30 years. Our skilled construction staff will guide trainees through a series of lessons designed to provide employable job skills.
Trainees are paid while they are in the Build Your Future program because Houston Habitat knows you cannot go without a paycheck while you are trying to learn.

| Lot maintenance | Roofing |
| Minor home repair | Interior doors and trim |
| OSHA 10 & 30 certification | PACT Home Builders Institute |
| Forklift certification | Print reading and basics of construction |
| Framing | Siding & Weather Proofing |
| And more! |
