Carpentry careers offer opportunities to take pride in building attractive environments. Minuteman Regional provides students with instruction in all aspects of mill and residential carpentry, as well as energy saving and super-insulation techniques. The competency-based curriculum and hands on approach enable students to be ready for our off campus projects. Upon completion of a house, students are ready for work in a variety of related fields. They are also encouraged to consider owning and operation their own businesses.
