| Description | This program is perfect for those who want to learn more than the basics of carpentry. Energy efficiency, environmental concerns, business skills, and entrepreneurship are integral components of this program. Our two-year diploma is designed to meet the needs of employers looking for carpenters with a firm practical skill base across a wide range of applications. We’ll cover everything from construction safety and the use of hand tools to building science, floor and wall framing, exterior finishing, and much more.
As the demand increases for construction trades, so does the demand for qualified carpenters. Graduates help fill the demand for qualified carpenters in the new housing and commercial construction market. Other opportunities exist in the renovation industry. | | |
