Cammon. Mr. Cammon started in construction as a teenager and eventually owned his own rebar contracting company, working on large projects throughout the Southeast. His passion and success in construction lead him to start the school with humble beginnings, teaching all classes himself often offering free training to those in the neighborhood. Beginning with such programs as rod busting, brick masonry and residential carpentry, Mr. Cammon became a provider for various government workforce development programs. The school has now shifted to training individuals for industrial construction to meet the growing demand in the area. CTC now offers NCCER based programs in Rod Busting, Form Carpentry and Concrete Finishing. The school has grown to have full-time faculty in specialty areas and an administrative staff to meet the growing needs of the institution. Beginning with one building in 2000, CTC is now located on 10 acres in Fairfield County, including an administration/classroom building, conference center and laboratories. The school is licensed by South Carolina Commission of High Education and continues to draw students from various areas of the state.
