Trades - Apprenticeship in Carpenter (Apprenticeship)

This Carpenter Apprenticeship program combines in-school technical training, delivered at the Len Evans Centre for Trades and Technology on the North Hill Campus, with on-the-job practical training arranged through Apprenticeship Manitoba, across a variable number of levels. The program develops both manual carpentry skills and the ability to read drawings, sketches and building plans, along with estimating job costs, selecting materials, planning work sequences and methods, and checking completed work against national and local building codes. Communication skills are emphasized given the need to coordinate with other tradespeople on site. Applicants must be registered apprentices with Apprenticeship Manitoba and generally need a high school diploma or equivalent standing, with credits in English, math and science, though mature students and those with related pre-employment or vocational training may qualify for assessment-based entry or credit. The program suits individuals who prefer working with their hands and tools and are pursuing certification as a journeyperson carpenter through Manitoba's apprenticeship system.
