Program Information:

The Carpentry curriculum prepares students with skills to work in many areas of the construction industry. The program educates and trains the future leaders of the construction industry with a unique blend of education and hands-on training. Graduates can work for builders, general contractors and subcontractors in commercial, industrial and residential construction. Students develop the skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to function on the construction site with the potential to advance into supervisory positions within the construction industry.

The certificate provides students with realistic classroom and laboratory experiences emphasizing rough carpentry, exterior finishes, finish carpentry, and interior finishes. In addition, students take their choice or courses in communications, technical mathematics, computer science, or English to help provide them with career­ advancing skills.

While students are fully employable upon completion of the certificate, some may wish to continue their education by returning for additional semesters to earn an Associate of Applied Science in Building Construction Technology.
