The objective of the Industrial and Commercial Carpentry program at Brazosport College is to give the student, in cooperation with construction and building contractors, the basic training and education to progress successfully on the job in carpentry. Upon completion of the program the student will be recognized as a skilled carpenter in the construction industry. The program will also work to improve relations between the employer and the employee.
Carpenters perform various jobs from home building to large commercial projects.
They erect wood framework, partitions, drywalls, studs, joints, and rafters. They install doors, windows, ceilings, all types of flooring, wood paneling, cabinets, molding, and trim. They also build forms for concrete, erect scaffolding, and build bridges, piers, and trestles. They may work outside the construction industry in installation and maintenance. Working from blueprints, they measure, mark, and arrange materials.
