Journeyman Carpenter
Bill launched his career in carpentry at a custom cabinet shop.
“The fact that I was expected to learn the trade from the company owner, a little at a time, left me wanting for more. While on an errand for the company, I met a retired union carpenter who told me about the carpenters’ apprenticeship program. I realized through the apprenticeship program that I had found my niche.
I’ve been transformed into a capable tradesman who works safely and effectively alongside master carpenters in a fast-paced construction environment. I feel satisfied with the training I have received and my career choice. My only regret is that I did not find the apprenticeship program sooner.”
