Overview
Get certified with CNC's carpenter apprenticeship program! This program provides the technical training portion of your apprenticeship journey, which in combination with work-based training hours, leads to Red Seal certification.
Careers
As a carpenter, you will work on a large variety of projects including:
- Residential (single family homes, apartments, townhouses)
- Industrial (mills, manufacturing plants, mines, oil & gas)
- Commercial (shopping centres, retailers, dealerships)

About Apprenticeship Programs
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.
In addition to earning wages while learning on the job, many apprentices have their technical training paid for by their company, and/or qualify for Employment Insurance while in school. Additionally there are a number of grants and tax credits available to both apprentices and employers. Visit SkilledTradesBC to learn more.
Red Seal carpenters are certified to work across Canada, and may also have their credentials recognized internationally. Certified skilled tradespeople are in demand worldwide, leading to opportunities for international work experience or volunteer opportunities. Many tradespeople also are entrepreneurs, building businesses that may eventually employ others and give back to the local community.
A Red Seal trade can also be a stepping stone to further education, management positions, building your own business, or even returning to college as an educator teaching the next generation of tradespeople.

Entry Requirements
Once your employer has submitted an Apprentice and Sponsor Registration Form to SkilledTradesBC on your behalf you can apply to attend technical training at CNC. Many of our apprenticeship programs have waitlists so we encourage you to apply early.
SkilledTradesBC doesn’t require apprentices to have completed a required number of work-based-training hours to attend technical training. However, because apprenticeship programs are a unique blend of in-class and on-the-job training we encourage you to work with your employer to decide on a training schedule that best combines these two forms of training.
Limited admission
A program with a limited number of seats per intake and is on a “first qualified, first admitted” basis.
