Get into Masonry
If you enjoy working outdoors and like to work with your hands in a high-paying,
rewarding career, consider masonry! The bricklaying and masonry program will
prepare you to work as a brick mason or block mason for either residential or
commercial construction. You’ll learn proper building techniques through hands-
on projects.
You’ll develop the skills and knowledge to perform well at entry level positions in
the field of masonry. Become a bricklayer, blocklayer or bricklayer helper and
then with further education and work experience, a graduate may move into a
career as bricklayer foreman, cement mason, tile setter and stone mason.
Look inside and you’ll see why Ellsworth is Your Best Choice!
