The coronavirus pandemic continues to challenge all sectors of our economy and our educational systems. HBI, a national leader for career training in the building industry, announced complimentary access to online learning alternatives for local schools and training programs. This access comes in response to increasing K-12 requests across the nation.
The Flexible Instruction Day (FID) material does not require textbooks or workbooks to accommodate self-paced online learning. Students will learn fundamental knowledge and skills, such as safety, communication, social media presence and interviewing techniques.
