Carpentry
About This Course
In Carpentry 1, the students will complete small individual practice projects and then apply these new skills, in groups of three or four, to the construction of small houses in the shop. By the end of the year, the students will complete the construction and “drying in” of a small residential structure.
The second year program, Carpentry 2, is dedicated to the completion of the interior of the residential structure and also provides a basic understanding and activities in the commercial part of the trade. As in Carpentry 1, the second year students will also complete individual practice projects before applying their newly learned skills to a larger project in a group setting. Along with the construction aspect of the program, the students will learn about blueprint reading, estimation, and related English, math, and science. Additionally, the students will be taught the basics of financial management.
