WHAT are Trade Schools Teaching?? | the INNOVATION Campus

I got to spend a few days with the students and instructors at Cherry Creek Innovation Campus, the guys have there have such a solid drive for the students and the industry and such great support for me as an individual which I really appreciate.

When I was an apprentice in the '60's one of our tutors told us that unless we shared our work knowledge / skills with others, the knowledge will be lost. He taught us all he knew and asked that we pass on that knowledge to others throughout our working life. I honoured his request, so it was good to see you passing on tips to the students...

And this, friends, is the difference between being smart and being wise. #thisistheway

Soo badass man!! I’ve been doing big residential custom homes since 15 years old( Concrete Foundation/ Structural) I’m 23 now and am really interested in framing! But I wouldn’t want to transition out of fear of starting from the bottom and my pay being decreased by 40% lol

[@OKSEIKO]

Super cool project, you are awesome for sharing your knowledge as well! Awesome that the students get real world experience and the buildings go to a good cause.

Love the video, I was in trade school a couple years ago and went to SkillsUSA. Its always good to have someone that knows what they are doing. Its great that you are showing them how its done. We need more people that want to be in the trade.

Excellent 😊 I also started out at age 14 designed & built a 16'×12' horse barn in Cherry Hills. We need good people in the industry. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.❤

[@cchrisstiaann]

This is awesome 👏🏻 The industry needs more young blood to carry on the future in building!

Way to go man, a lot of these younger guys don't get the mentorship they deserve. Often times they end up having to learn on their own, sometimes developing habits that are productive but more frequently, I think, developing bad habits.

I competed in the maine skills usa state carpentry competition and won gold last year! Awesome organization!

Dope video man!! I’m currently attending trade school in Los Angeles and finishing up my first semester for framing just like these young cats just wanted to appreciate you showing your experiences and putting it up on KZbin. I gain a lot of knowledge and tips and put them into practice . Keep up the great work!

[@Coffmanconstruction]

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@christonacouch5550]

Very nice dude I would love it if a place like this was near me. Been working in the trades close to 5 yrs now but I feel like anyone with beginner to intermediate skills/background can improve their efficiency, knowledge, and technique from a place like this!! 👍👍

[@Coffmanconstruction]

It’s sad that just 30 years ago these skills were looked down upon as only suitable for lower class people. I’d kill to be 20 years younger and learning a grade bc I know I’d be incredibly happy

10:30 that is not how to frame a window needs jack studs under window sill

[@Coffmanconstruction]

I would agree, but this school teaches them to do it this way since it isn’t required by code and uses more materials

[@user-zm6fw8qj2s]

@@Coffmanconstruction interesting that wouldn’t fly up here in Maine. Love your content man. I’m a builder as well (we do it all from ground up) and I love your bag setup by Badger! I just ordered a set after watching you videos can wait for them to come!

[@Coffmanconstruction]
