THE POINT’s Hands-On-Training Program is designed to give students an opportunity to learn how to use their minds and hands to make, repair, build and maintain their homes and vehicles and to expose them to employment opportunities in service trades and/or construction. The classes are designed for students (boys and girls) from 5th through 12th grade and designed to grow competencies, build confidence, and establish career readiness. Every class will teach the students to properly handle the tools and safety equipment required to perform the work in that area.  The students will also learn how to understand and perform the math and science needed to make their projects come together. The following are some of the classes recently offered and/or upcoming.
