Our Carpentry program gives the apprentices a valuable head start in the trade, as well as an opportunity to practice their craft as they enter the workforce. This is an apprenticeship program delivered using Alberta Apprenticeship curriculum and guidlines to ensure quality training. This is a combination of theory and shop apprenticeship and industry training to become a skilled tradesperson. You MUST be a registered apprentice with Alberta Industry Training (http://www.tradesecrets.gov.ab.ca) to register for this class.
