Carpenter
Carpenters work on interior systems with many tools and materials to build schools, erect skyscrapers and construct bridges, tunnels and highways. It’s likely that skilled journeymen carpenters partially built just about every building in your community. To be a carpenter is to be a member of one of the oldest and most respected trades. If you like working with tools and creating things by hand, you can build a career in carpentry that will last a lifetime.
- 4 years sponsored apprenticeship
- 640 hours professional training + 5,200 hours on-the-job training
- $68,000+ earning potential
The best things to me are the training offered in the classroom, in the shop and on the jobsite. You get to prove your ability and advance your skill set through classes offered even after your apprenticeship ends. The industry is constantly changing and we make can learn about those changes in training.
