CSC’s Weatherization Training Center hosts Corvallis School District high school students in a pre-apprenticeship program designed to connect classroom education with hands-on occupational exploration. Seven students from two of the area high schools are learning about weatherization and building science while participating in a service learning project that included replacing windows for a retired couple. The students attend class at the Weatherization Training Center once a week for five weeks. Upon completion, students will understand what it takes to be a weatherization professional including worksite safety. This program is designed to help teens think about their future career options and provide a tangible connection between classroom education and real world application of science and math.
