Four-week classes designed to teach entry-level house renovation skills.
Through a partnership with the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, derelict houses facing demolition will be renovated and sold. Students will spend their mornings in class and afternoons at the job site. The students will receive a generous stipend for their afternoon work. By the end of four weeks, students with perfect attendance will receive enough compensation to pay for more than 70 percent of the college in-state tuition. They will also receive basic hand tools and a tool belt worth about $350. Books needed for the class are also provided at no cost.
