Program Highlights =Carpentry=

**The Carpenter is the tradesperson who is traditionally on the jobsite from a project's beginning until its completion. Carpenters are expected to work closely with all the other trades as workers come and go during the project. The uniqueness of 'building' is what differentiates a career in the dynamic and diverse field of Carpentry. The Carpentry program is designed to feature both shop and off-campus jobsite learning opportunities. The grade 9 & 10 curriculum ensures that our students learn and master fundamental safety and construction skills so that they will be ready to meet and excel while working on real-world, hands-on jobsites throughout grades 11 & 12. The Shawsheen Tech carpentry student typically participates in the construction of a new home as well as many community and on-campus building and renovation projects.**
