Cert in Carpenters

The carpentry diploma prepares graduates to step into the building trades at a level similar to an advanced apprentice. Students gain skills for residential projects, light and heavy commercial work, highway and bridge construction, cabinetry and millwork. Population growth and the need for new housing keep trained carpenters in demand, particularly in urban redevelopment and commercial and industrial building. Graduates leave ready to work as skilled tradespeople within the construction industry. The college reports a perfect placement record for its most recent reported graduating class, and the page lists the state median wage for the occupation. Students also build general workplace abilities such as critical thinking while they learn the craft, which supports long-term careers in the trade.
