Cabinetmaking & Carpentry

The Cabinetmaking and Carpentry program prepares students for careers in both residential and commercial 
construction trades. Students gain hands-on experience in a variety of key skills, including safety practices, blueprint reading, materials estimating, and both basic and advanced framing. They also learn interior and exterior finishing, with opportunities to apply their knowledge in the shop and on-location projects such as home building. In the 
Cabinetmaking portion, students dive into the craft and science of cabinet construction, with a focus on print 
reading, design, layout, and finishing techniques. They specialize in producing fine cabinetry and furniture, using 
methods, materials, machinery, joinery, and precise assembly to create high-quality, flawless products. This 
program emphasizes practical experience and skill development in both fields.
