CHUBBUCK, Idaho (KIFI) - The Home Depot in Chubbuck is building excitement for this year's Construction Combine.

Inspired by the NFL draft, the two-day event allows trainees to learn basic construction skills and work with local contractors on community projects.

On day one, trainees were placed on teams and participated in training sessions, covering several topics including:

Framing
Concrete
Electrical
Plumbing
Dry Wall
Flooring
Siding

On Thursday, trainees are demonstrating their new skills by building sheds with area contractors. The sheds will then be donated to local disabled veterans.
