Carpentry III is an advanced course that allows students to gain in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in construction skills. Students explore specialized areas in carpentry, such as building decks and porches, alternative framing, interior finishes, dry wall installation and finishing as well as energy efficiency and green technology. Exploration of licensure requirements and entrepreneurial opportunities are emphasized. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students’ career goals and/or interest, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
