Carpentry ProgramFrom Foundations to Fine Craftsmanship


Carpentry is where creativity meets craftsmanship. In the Carpentry Program, students begin with the essentials of framing and construction—the skills that build homes, businesses, and communities. From there, they advance into the world of custom woodworking, creating everything from furniture and cabinets to kitchens and artisan buildings.


Students gain hands-on experience with tools, techniques, and materials while learning to read blueprints, measure and cut with precision, and bring projects from design to reality. Whether it’s raising a wall, building a custom dining table, or crafting a one-of-a-kind space, this program provides the foundation for a career built on skill and pride in workmanship.


Carpentry isn’t just a trade—it’s an art. With opportunities in residential construction, custom fabrication, and high-end woodworking, graduates of this program can shape the world around them—literally.


👉 Build more than projects—build your future.
