The curriculum consists of reading construction drawings and learning about the materials commonly used by carpenters. Practical experience is given in the use of all power and hand tools used by the carpenter. As long as there are structures being built and remodeled, there will be a need for carpenters.
Houses are just one type of building that carpenters work on.
Shopping centers, office complexes, and hotels are other structures requiring their skills. Graduates of the program may locate employment as a carpenter, carpenter apprentice, rough carpenter, form carpenter, carpenter s helper, and finish carpenter. To be successful in the program, you will need to be able to work on ladders and scaffolds, and work outdoors in all kinds of weather. Manual dexterity is a must. A high school diploma or GED is recommended.
