The Construction Technology Program offers a strong introduction to the tools and techniques of the industry. Students learn to use hand and power tools safely and accurately, develop project-estimating skills, and become familiar with contemporary building materials. Students build with panelization methods. Students gain practical experience from foundation to finish on and off-campus, and at community projects.
What We Do
Students operate professional equipment and power tools as they work independently and in teams in many aspects of construction. Students participate in field trips to industry leaders in Vermont. Many service projects have been completed to help local groups including, the United Way, Vermont State Parks, and Habitat for Humanity. Students work cooperatively with other programs such as Natural Resources and Forestry and Electrical/Plumbing.

Program Instructor – Tyler Gugliotta
At 14 Tyler Gugliotta began working summers in construction as a laborer demolishing and cleaning up very large busy residential houses in the New York City suburb communities. He worked hard to become a carpenter by 16 doing work that he is still proud of 26 years later! Since then, Tyler has studied engineering, worked as a draftsman, had the opportunity to lead crews, own a business, and build a great reputation as a highly-skilled carpenter in the Killington mountain area. Tyler moved to Vermont in 2003 to teach snowboarding and has made an exceptional seasonal career out of that ever since. I believe that the quality of what you do is remembered, not the time you took to accomplish something. As a teacher, I am excited to use my experiences to help students obtain skills and confidence to prepare them for a healthy, successful life.”
