Carpentry
Overview
The construction industry is no different to any other industry with respect to the need for change as new technologies emerge. However, the latest in any technology is only as good as the skill level of the technicians who effect repairs and maintenance.
The Carpentry program can teach you the skills needed, starting with the history of carpentry, blueprint reading, structural framing with wood and metal, stair construction, window, door, countertop and cabinet installation.
You will have the opportunity to hone basic math skills while learning to become proficient with common hand and power tools. Others areas of study include reading and drawing plans, learning to estimate and schedule jobs, stair building, floor installations and much more.
Many carpenters learn their skills while on the job, while others choose to study at vocational schools or apprenticeship programs where hands-on-training teaches basic design principles like framing, interior and exterior finishing and layout.
