Carpenter Apprenticeship Program

A journeyman carpenter possesses the knowledge and skills to build, repair, and install various carpentry elements in commercial or industrial settings. The skills required are the ability to understand and interpret blueprints, as well as accurately measure, cut, and assemble materials for construction and repair projects. Journeymen typically work independently or under the supervision of a supervisor, following safety guidelines and using the appropriate tools and equipment.
