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

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

Framing
Concrete
Electrical
Plumbing
Dry Wall

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