Cert in Carpenters

This certificate teaches the skills and knowledge needed for home building and some light commercial construction. Finishing it can lead to jobs with general contractors or specialty contractors. Students work across a wide range of tasks, starting at foundations and ending with interior trim. Required courses include foundations and floor framing, wall and roof framing, exterior and interior finishing, and either stair construction or rafter framing. Variable-credit courses count at their maximum. A curriculum map suggests an order of courses, a separate career explorer page describes the occupation, and an instructor is named as a contact for questions about the program. Prospective students can read the full catalog entry for the complete list of required courses and learning outcomes, and an advisor can help plan a schedule that fits their goals.
