Purpose

The purpose of this postsecondary program is to prepare students for employment in the carpentry industry with an emphasis on learning fundamental carpentry skills.

This program prepares students to become carpenters that can construct, erect, install, and repair structures and fixtures made from wood and other materials. Typically, they specialize in new-home, apartment, condominium, and multi-family construction, and/or commercial buildings and structures, and remodeling. As part of a single job, they might build and set forms for footings, walls, and slabs, and frame and finish exterior and interior walls, roofs, and decks. They also build stairs, install drywall; interior trim and doors; windows; cabinets; exterior siding and trim; roofing materials, and build indoor and outdoor furniture and other structures. Often, they install finish flooring and interior wall finishes. Fully trained construction carpenters can easily switch from new construction to remodeling, and with enough construction experience become a specialty sub-contractor, or residential/building contractor.

The content includes but is not limited to developing rough and finish carpentry skills. 

Additional Information relevant to this Career and Technical Education (CTE) program is provided at the end of this document.

Additional Information

Laboratory Activities

Laboratory investigations that include scientific inquiry, research, measurement, problem solving, emerging technologies, tools and equipment, as well as, experimental, quality, and safety procedures are an integral part of this career and technical program/course. Laboratory investigations benefit all students by developing an understanding of the complexity and ambiguity of empirical work, as well as the skills required to manage, operate, calibrate and troubleshoot equipment/tools used to make observations. Students understand measurement error; and have the skills to aggregate, interpret, and present the resulting data. Equipment and supplies should be provided to enhance hands-on experiences for students.

These grade level numbers correspond to a grade equivalent score obtained on a state designated basic skills examination. 
   
Adult students with disabilities, as defined in Section 1004.02, Florida Statutes, may be exempted from meeting the Basic Skills requirements (Rule 6A-10.040).  Students served in exceptional student education (except gifted) as defined in s. 1003.01, F.S., may also be exempted from meeting the Basic Skills requirement.  Each school district and Florida College System Institution must adopt a policy addressing procedures for exempting eligible students with disabilities from the Basic Skills requirement as permitted in Section 1004.91, F.S.
