“The advanced knowledge I gained form this program led to my being hired because I stood out from other applicants.”

“I have always had a keen interest in carpentry and knew I wanted to attend a post-secondary institution rather than an apprenticeship program…. Once I discovered there was a carpentry program that focused on sustainability and conserving energy, I knew it was the program for me…. [Something] that really stood out about the Construction Carpentry—Advanced Housing program was the second-year building project. Lectures gave us the theory of building and the on-site work let us apply it, get messy and make mistakes. I believe that site work is vital to the program and is something that makes it both unique and rewarding…. The advanced knowledge I gained form this program led to my being hired because I stood out from other applicants. In the six years of working since graduating, I have never been laid-off from work.”
