Building and Construction

Associate of Applied Science

Pima’s Building and Construction Technology AAS program doesn’t just teach you about the industry — it puts you right in it. Train in person with seasoned pros who’ve worked the job sites, using the latest tools and technology. For added flexibility, some courses are also available online.

From power tools to project management, you’ll gain hands-on skills employers actually want. Pick a specialty — Management, Carpentry, Electrical, HVAC-R or Plumbing — and get ready for a career that’s built to last.

Construction careers are on the rise. Jobs in this field are projected to grow 7% through 2033 — much faster than average. That means real opportunity, better job security and a serious need for skilled tradespeople like you.
