The weeks are the course’s own, read from the lab; the catalog pads the last weeks with the capstone and the floor so the course fills a whole term.

The squares are a picture of a course — how much of each core subject its own rooms carry, read from the rooms’ text — never a score of a student. Every course in a lab is graded to the core across the board; the squares say which columns it feeds most.
WHAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO
- You are building a HOME — and before anyone cuts steel, someone has to design it and read it
- This is the highest-value lesson on the whole campus
- Materials are MOST of a build’s cost — and a foreman who can’t do a takeoff can’t run a job
- Now the crafts come to the jobsite — and this is where the Village makes every trades lab talk to every other one.

WK 1The SchematicWORKFORCE VILLAGE · THE PHASES
You are building a HOME — and before anyone cuts steel, someone has to design it and read it. This phase is the schematic: the floor plan, the elevations, the real dimensions, and the one thing you MUST understand about…
WK 2The Sequence
This is the highest-value lesson on the whole campus. A jobsite is not a list of tasks — it’s a CRITICAL PATH, where the trades depend on each other and doing things in the wrong ORDER costs thousands in tear-out and…
WK 3The Materials
Materials are MOST of a build’s cost — and a foreman who can’t do a takeoff can’t run a job. This phase is the money side of the build: the TAKEOFF (every material, its spec, its quantity, its real price, the total),…
WK 4The Trades Do Their Work
Now the crafts come to the jobsite — and this is where the Village makes every trades lab talk to every other one.
WK 5The Village
One home becomes a VILLAGE. This is the vision phase — where you scale a single container home into multiple units with a real site plan, cost it and run it with the Business Hub, and then PITCH it to real people.
WK 6–9The floor
The floor: the work is done in the room, logged in the room, kept in My Work.
THE PROJECT · WHAT THE QUARTER IS FOR
The assignments · weeks 1–9
The question. What does Workforce Village ask you to be able to do by week 5?
The make. Every week's assignment and the quiz as practice: The Schematic · The Sequence · The Materials · The Trades Do Their Work …
The evidence. Handed in through Workforce Village inside The Engine Room · Business & Entrepreneurship, kept in My Work; the Report reads it from there.
A course is a quarter, a semester or a year — nine, eighteen or thirty-six weeks — a project a quarter. Offered as the year, a semester or a quarter, it is the same course seen through a window. A lab is a family: its year, each of its tracks as a course, and its rooms. The evidence is what a student hands in through the room; the Report reads it from there. Nothing in the catalog is a grade.
