The Carpentry program prepares students for employment in construction. Initially, students are taught the basic use of hand tools and begin projects to sharpen their woodworking skills. Students also use portable power tools in house construction, including framing exterior trim, roofing, and side walling. Once hand skills have been mastered, students learn to use many types of modern equipment such as table saws, planers, and lathes. Students are also introduced to entry-level CAD design.

When the basics have been mastered, students will then participate in construction projects outside of school. These projects, including remodeling, historical renovations, and housing, take place in New Bedford, Dartmouth, and Fairhaven.
