This program is open to tenth and eleventh grade students, but priority is given to those applying to start this program in eleventh grade.
The first year of Carpentry addresses the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) CORE curriculum. Basic safety, construction mathematics, hand tools, power tools, blueprints, basic rigging, communication skills, and employability skills will be studied. In addition, students study fabrication, materials specifications, estimating, site preparation, fasteners, foundations, flooring, and framing.

GRADE: 10-11
The second year of Carpentry involves more comprehensive and advanced projects. The course includes intensive experience with construction skills with significance in refining design and construction techniques. Roofing, siding, windows, and exterior doors will be studied. Students will also learn finishing techniques and applications. Students may have the opportunity to work with local employers as an intern. Students will also have the opportunity to achieve National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) certification.

GRADE: 10-11
PREREQUISITE: Algebra 1 preferred
Students will continue to expand their knowledge and practical application of skills learned during the first year. Additional exposure to computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) will develop the state-of-the-art skills necessary to enter engineering-related occupations in the industry or to pursue advanced training in college or other post-secondary schools. As a Certiport Authorized Test Center and provider of the Autodesk Certified User industry certification, students may choose to earn certification for AutoCAD, ReVit Architecture, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Inventor, 3ds Max, Maya, and AutoDesk Revit. Certification will also be offered for SolidWorks.

This program is open to tenth and eleventh grade students, but priority is given to those applying to start this program in eleventh grade.
Based on the AWS (American Welding Society) standards, students will receive instruction in blueprint reading, math, metallurgy, and applicable science required in the field of welding. Students will safely receive instruction in oxyacetylene cutting, welding, and torch brazing (OAC, OAW, and TB), ARC Welding (SMAW), MIG Welding (SMAW), and Plasma Cutting (PAC). They will receive instruction in the safe use of hand and power tools associated with the welding industry. Using Auto Sketch, the students will be taught drafting and design standards of the welding industry. Students will learn the drafting and design standards of welding via competencies. Students will fabricate and practice good welding standards and verify their progress through destructive and non-destructive testing.

GRADE: 10-11
Students will fabricate weld samples, complete resumes and applications for apprenticeships, employment, and post-secondary education. Students will receive instruction in TIG Welding (GTAW), Pipe Welding, and semi-automatic robotic oxy-acetylene cutting. Students will learn to weld using all welding processes and metals--both ferrous and non-ferrous. This is a regimented concentrated AWS course of study that prepares students for success on the AWS Certification Test (D1.1). Students will have the opportunity to take the AWS certification test--which licenses them to weld nationally. This testing will be completed at the Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center under the supervision of the classroom instructor and Steamfitters Union 602 partners.
