Some companies require construction education before hiring you, while others only require a high school diploma or equivalent. Since you are at the interview, you must have met their educational requirements. Describe any education you have in construction, including high school shop or woodworking classes, college courses, or apprenticeship programs. If you do not have construction education, be honest and let the interviewer know of any classes you plan on taking and how you are excited about the opportunity for on-the-job training.

You want to avoid saying you have no interest in receiving an education in construction or feel college is a waste of time. Even if you think that way, the interviewer will interpret that to mean that you are unmotivated and may not be the best employee for them. Instead, it would be best if you said that you have no formal education in construction but prefer to have hands-on training in the work environment and you are eager to learn all you can.

"I have two years of shop classes in high school, which is what got me interested in this line of work. During the summers, my shop teacher mentored some of the other students and I while we helped build his house. I am interested in furthering my education and am signed up for construction technology courses at the community college and start next semester."
