Carpentry
In the Carpentry program, students learn to apply concepts from math, engineering and design to construct solid building structures. Topics include blueprints, building layout, framing, roof, wall, and floor systems, and interior and exterior finish. Courses are delivered in the classroom, shop, and the Summerside Waterfront Campus carpentry compound. Students develop skills by building a three-bedroom home with classmates under Red Seal instructors. Graduates enter the workforce ready to work toward their Red Seal Certification in Carpentry.
Prerequisites: Grade 12 or equivalent with credits at or above the general level, Résumé including work and volunteer experience with applicable dates, membership in groups, associations or athletics, awards and distinctions, and any other information about yourself relevant to the program
