As an option, students may succeed in securing an apprenticeship after graduating from the program and be able to reinforce and expand on the skills they have learned through hands-on experiences alongside a qualified tradesperson. Graduates of this certificate program can work in entry-level positions in almost every sector of the construction industry. They can be employed on a project-by-project basis or work for a construction company. Small, medium and large companies, unionized and non-unionized, all employ construction/carpentry workers on a variety of projects in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors.
