Carpenter Apprentice
The Eastern Atlantic States Carpenters Technical Centers consists of 800 hours of school/technical training, combined with four years of on-the-job training.
At the training center, we have simulated an on-the-job environment, providing the participant with a hands-on approach to learning each of the required skills. Apprentices are then assigned one of the eight specific skill areas of our core curriculum. The Apprentice observes a presentation on a specific task and is then giving a drawing of the project to be completed. Each apprentice must complete his or her assigned projects before moving on to the next skill area.
All skill areas are supervised by a certified instructor who is an experienced journeyman carpenter. The instructor is available to answer questions, assign projects, demonstrate proper procedures and assist the apprentices as they complete the projects. Instructors also spend a considerable amount of time with the apprentice teaching the technical aspects of the program in a classroom setting.
Hands-on training coupled with classroom instruction is the most effective way to allow our trainees to learn the new technologies and new procedures of the ever-changing construction industry.
