Several Drake State Technical College instructors recently received craft instructor certification from the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) to teach short-term, non-credit courses in the areas of electricity and welding.

Tad Montgomery, applied technologies division chair and machine tool instructor; Collis Sims, electrical technology instructor; and Fred Pruitt, welding technology instructor, successfully completed the NCCER instructor certification training program.

NCCER is a not-for-profit education foundation created in 1996 to address the critical skilled workforce shortage and to develop standardized construction, maintenance, and pipeline curricula with portable credentials. NCCER is affiliated with the University of Florida’s M. E. Rinker, Sr. School of Building Construction.
