Carpentry Pathway

Student drilling into a piece of wood.

Carpentry Pathway

The Carpentry program is a skilled trade where students can dive into the world of designing and crafting using different building materials. Whether it's creating interesting structures or repairing everyday fixtures, this program has it all. We explore how to make concrete forms, frameworks, stairways, and more – basically, anything made of wood is our canvas! We also get to know the ins and outs of installing, taking apart, or redesigning furniture/pieces by following plans and drawings. It's like a hands-on adventure in woodworking and building.
