Educational Production Work

Educational Production Work is accepted on the basis of Instructional Value – Therefore-

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICES

Educational Production Work• As of 2012 Educational Production Work is

open to everyone without a cap.• Production work will be accepted on an

educational basis.• Construction work requests will all come

through Central Office for review and basic pricing. A basic list of pricing will be posted in all departments. We charge labor only as all supplies are the responsibility of the customer.

Educational Production Work• Prior to performing renovation or demolition

work on any building or utility built prior to 1978, the customer must provide an audit for miscellaneous hazardous materials that is performed by an approved and qualified consultant/company. A copy of all documented analytical results must be provided and kept on file.

Educational Production Work

•State of Connecticut/CTHSS assumes no responsibility therefore the customer is required to inform their insurer that student labor is being utilized.

Educational Production Work• Automotive Departments will work

exactly as a dealership – make an appointment, bring the vehicle in, get a price quote as per “Mitchell on Demand”, if acceptable customer supplies parts and work is started.

• If the Vehicle is over 15 years of age, authorization by the consultant must be given before the vehicle can be taken in for repairs

Educational Production Work

• The CTHSS will not be responsible for any damage that occurs while the vehicle is in our possession. The customer’s insurance will be the initial recourse.

Educational Production Work• The only off campus production work is

performed by the Construction Trades!

• Hairdressing & Barbering is by appointment.

• Culinary Arts & Baking can provide pick-up services only!
