Carpentry
About the Program
The Carpentry program offers students an introduction to basic carpentry skills. Students use a wide variety of fabrication tools and machines with a strong emphasis on safety. Students will be involved with both individual and group projects. Instruction will include experiences in blueprint reading, related mathematics, materials specifications, estimating techniques, and site preparation. They will also learn specific framing methods including wall studding, joists, rafters, window and door frames, and stairs. Carpentry can be physically demanding at times-students should be prepared to bend, kneel, lift, and climb during their time in this course. Developing employability skills and providing career exploration opportunities will also be part of this program.
