NCCER Presents Makers Grant Tool Kit to High School Students

The National Center for Construction Education and Research has awarded Fleming Island High School with a Makers Grant tool kit sponsored by Stanley Black & Decker. The students in Mr. Cunningham’s class will put these tools to work as a new school year kicks off in August.

As a recipient of the 2022 Stanley Black & Decker Makers Grant, NCCER is grateful to partner with Stanley Black & Decker to build CTE programs and connect students with careers in construction. The grant is used to support NCCER’s CareerStarter program, an online platform that unites students, job seekers, employers and educators together in one place to promote the exploration of construction careers and connects job seekers with entry-level opportunities.

Through the generosity of partners like Stanley Black & Decker, NCCER is equipped to empower students, like those at Fleming Island High School, with the skillsets and tools necessary to build meaningful and bright futures in the construction industry.
