Our four-quarter Carpentry program is designed to prepare students for employment as apprentice carpenters. The Carpentry program focuses on hands-on experience where students work on full size building and remodeling projects (with a crew) while learning the carpentry trade. Students get a solid grounding in the theory behind each task or technique. you'll learn the basics of residential construction, from blueprint reading and site prep to roof vents and trim fitting. At the end of the four-quarter program you will have a good understanding of how and why structures work as well as finishing techniques that enhance visual appeal. Our Carpentry instructors are professional carpenters who emphasize the application of skills learned in class and how they relate to real world situations. Career opportunities for successful students range from home builders to remodeling projects to construction jobs to maintenance and repair work.
