A companion to the RCA Carpentry text, the RCA Carpentry Video Series walks the viewer, step-by-step, through the process of constructing a house. The series contains a set of eight, 20-minutes videos, which cover everything from the basics of obtaining the building permit, to the detail work of interior trim. Special geographic considerations are addressed in order to more accurately reflect building practices throughout the U.S., and features such as "Carpenter's Tips," and "Safety Tips" provide practical advice from the experts. Create a direct link between your education/training program and the residential construction industry! Training materials are now available for many of the residential crafts based on skill standards developed by the nation's leading builders and educators. The result of a strategic partnership between the National Association of Home Builder's Home Builders Institute and Delmar Learning, the Residential Construction Academy Series is the perfect way to teach essential workplace skills to people new to the building trades. Ideal for use in vocational programs, workforce development programs, professional associations, and trade unions, all materials are based on industry standards. The Residential Construction Academy also offers credentialing for programs using the skill standards and materials, along with a national registry of students who have successfully completed participating programs. The goal is a workforce that is skilled, knowledgeable, and able to meet the needs of the industry today and well into the future.
