Build a solid foundation for your future.

If you want a career where you can see the results of your hard work at the end of every day, you belong in the trades. In this program, you will gain hands-on training in the essentials, from basic construction concepts and rough framing to concrete, insulation and finish carpentry. You’ll also become comfortable with the technical side, like building codes and permits, so you can handle a project professionally from the first permit to the final nail.

While you are mastering the tools, you will earn industry-recognized certifications and develop the teamwork, communication and job-readiness skills that local crews are looking for. After you complete this program, you will have a solid foundation to start your career or continue your education in the Carpentry diploma program.

If you are a student in the Dubuque area, you have a unique opportunity to participate in an Earn and Learn lab through our partnership with Four Mounds. It is a great way to gain real-world experience and build your resume while you work toward your goals.
