Bring the PACT Curriculum to your school with the Schools to Skills Grant

The Schools to Skills grant initiative is funded by The Home Depot Foundation, the National Housing Endowment and other funders, and allows schools to launch or enhance career technical education programs using HBI’s nationally recognized PreApprenticeship Certificate Training (PACT) curriculum. Consider applying for the next cycle of grant funding to give the students in your area career options. 

HBI’s certification assessments, offered through NOCTI, are based on National Skills Standards, and are recognized by 140,000 National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) members. 

If you are a student in a career technical education program that is an authorized NOCTI testing site, this option is for you. Go to the HBI section on NOCTI’s site to learn more. 

If you are an instructor, a professional in the industry or a company that wants to offer a third-party certification to your workforce, certifications can be earned through an online assessment via NOCTI Business Solutions. The first step is to complete and submit a registration application 

Participants who meet or exceed passing levels are eligible to apply for certification. Upon approval, HBI awards applicable certifications. 

HBI partnered with The Ohio State University (OSU) to offer online instructor certification to ensure consistency in teaching methodologies and knowledge competency when teaching to the National Skill Standards.
