Every building you've ever stood in started with someone's first day on a jobsite.
You already know more about construction than you think, you just don't have the vocabulary yet. HardHatU teaches you the real careers, the terms people actually use on a jobsite, and the concepts that build your foundation, so you walk in already speaking the language.
