This carpentry techniques program takes students from building layout, through the completion of framing for a residential construction project. Students will gain the required knowledge with respect to blueprint reading, building code, construction methods, building materials, tools and jobsite safety in an interactive classroom environment. Students will then apply their skills in a variety of hands-on carpentry courses. In addition to new construction, students will apply their experiences to a variety of renovation projects.

Graduates from this program can take the techniques they learned to the workforce or they can apply to enter the second year of the Carpentry and Renovations Technician program.
