2 schools offer these construction programs, and the US Virgin Islands has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Most learn on the job and some through apprenticeships that add technical instruction, and employers often require safety certification that meets OSHA guidelines, before or after hiring.1

In the US Virgin Islands, both programs ask for a high school diploma or equivalent.

Where the US Virgin Islands construction program numbers come from

Which the US Virgin Islands construction programs are on this list?

These are the construction programs the US Virgin Islands approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what the US Virgin Islands offers.

How the prices and results of the US Virgin Islands construction programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
