Crafts within construction include #masonry, #ironworking, #carpentry, and others. Employers look for certificates in these crafts. Someone who is certified, as defined by @nccer, is an individual who has successfully completed both a journey-level assessment and performance verification. Reaching a certified level can take a few years, but certificate candidates spend much of their time working on-site and earning pay.These crafts stand out as an alternative to the traditional 4-year college career path.
