NAIT's Cabinetmaker programme is an apprenticeship leading to a Journeyperson Certificate. Cabinetmakers are woodworkers who build custom wood products such as furniture, cabinetry and architectural millwork, and who program and operate computer numerical controlled (CNC) equipment and produce detailed shop drawings. Apprentices typically work in indoor shop environments such as architectural millwork shops, custom kitchen businesses, furniture manufacturers or their own businesses. The apprenticeship combines paid work experience with a sponsoring employer and blocks of in-class technical training at NAIT, delivered in shops designed to reflect real-world working conditions. Training covers wood-machining techniques, joinery, CNC programming and operation, materials selection and shop-drawing preparation. Admission, sponsorship and technical-training scheduling are administered through Alberta's apprenticeship and industry training system rather than a standard academic application process.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: To register as an apprentice in Alberta for this trade, applicants must be a resident of Alberta or primarily working in Alberta within the scope of the apprenticeship, and must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident of Canada, Convention refugee or protected person, a refugee claimant holding a work permit, a Post-Graduation Work Permit holder, or a Ukrainian citizen living as a temporary resident who meets Apprenticeship and Industry Training conditions. Entrance requirements are specific to the trade, typically based on required high school courses, with alternative options available if these have not been met. Applicants must also secure a sponsor — a business or organization providing paid on-the-job mentorship — before starting on-the-job training, though registration and classroom instruction may proceed before a sponsor is found.
