    Description
    This course is designed to meet the needs of indentured apprentices with the State of California who are interested in the carpentry industry. The course covers fundamental trade skills, employee/employer roles and responsibilities, and safe work practices needed for entry-level positions in the construction industry. While emphasis is placed on attaining industry-standard safety credentials, the course is designed to provide students with practical experience using construction terminology, math operations, basic measuring techniques, and tool identification and proper usage. Safety topics will cover Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training for jobsite hazard recognition, accident prevention, and safe tool and equipment operation. Upon successful completion, students receive an OSHA 10-Hour Certification Card.
