About Bridges
Bridges Construction & Renovation is an educational pathway within the Green Bay Area Public School District in partnership with Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity, NeighborWorks Green Bay, the Brown County Home Builders Association and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. The Bridges program helps prepares juniors and seniors for employment, future education, and career pathways in architecture, construction, engineering and the military.
Throughout the one-year Bridges program, students work together to complete a hands-on project, attending class at West High School for approximately two days per week and working on-site for three hours a day for three days per week. Students earn three high school elective credits and five credits from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) in the areas of introduction to carpentry, floor framing systems and building codes.
Bridges students also have the opportunity to receive OSHA 10 certification. OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and is responsible for worker safety and health protection.
Student interested in being a part of the Bridges program must submit an application.
