High school students learn historic building techniques The U.S. has many buildings that are centuries old, but most modern tradespeople haven't learned how to work on them. A New Hampshire program is teaching high schoolers these old restoration skills.

Fast Track Core is starting to fill up.

And why wouldn't it, with the added value of multiple forklift training certs as bonus material for this class?

That's right, the Shasta Builders Exchange is including a counterweight forklift, scissor lift, and boom lift for this Core class.

An amazing value!
