Carpentry blends practical skills and academic knowledge with creativity. As a carpenter, you can work in the residential, commercial, light industrial or heavy construction fields, doing new construction, renovations, or maintenance. Carpenters may also operate their own business, work as an educator, or further their education to become project managers, building inspectors, or executive level management in large construction firms.
Carpenter Foundation Program
The foundation program provides you the opportunity to gain experience and familiarity with the trade while giving you a competitive advantage to finding an employer to hire you as their apprentice. Learn more about the program here.
Apprenticeship programs provide a unique approach to post-secondary education, combining classroom-based learning (known as technical training) with on-the-job training. This enables you to “earn while you learn,” significantly reducing the need for student debt and building your career now instead of waiting until you’ve completed your education. CNC offers Level 1-4 technical training to best prepare students for the Red Seal Exam. Learn more about the program here.
