Apprentices in the construction training program move from first-period to eighth-period apprentices before becoming a journeyman carpenter. Students learn through an innovative program that combines classroom instruction with hands-on training. Apprentices earn "skill blocks" as they increase their knowledge of basic construction techniques. This training supplements the training and experience they get while working on the job with journeyman carpenters. Apprenticeship coordinators manage the programs below and monitor the progress of the individuals who enter the various trade disciplines. Knowledge and training are what puts a skilled carpenter above other workers. For current information on Apprenticeship openings go to either the Bureau Of Labor & Industries for a complete list. For further information on becoming a Carpenter see our Openings page. Look around you. Just about every building in your community was at least partially built by skilled carpenters.
