Students will need proficiency in general math and tape measure reading. Over the course of the program, students may earn certifications including the OSHA 10-Hour Training Certification, Skid Steer Loader Operator Certification, and Career Connections Certifications Levels 1, 2, and 3.
 

In the first year, students will use the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council’s Career Connections Program to learn general woodworking and carpentry skills, covering basic and intermediate carpentry, commercial and residential construction fundamentals, and essential construction site safety. They will also develop professionalism skills vital for the global workforce.

In the second year, students can specialize in residential or commercial construction, or both. They will acquire advanced carpentry skills such as rough-in/framing, doors, windows, siding, roofing, drywall, and other relevant skills. Continued emphasis on advanced professionalism will be part of their curriculum.
