A Complete Guide to Carpentry Apprenticeships

What is a Carpenter?

Are you interested in becoming a carpenter? Working in the construction industry can be very rewarding and an apprenticeship is a great route to take to achieve your career goals.

 

A carpenter is a skilled tradesman who’s role is to cut, shape and install natural building materials like wood and timber. A carpenter’s day can vary from installing floors and furniture in new buildings, to renovating properties and refitting current structures.


With the housing market not looking like it’s going to decline soon, carpenters continue to be in high demand. It’s also a universal trade so if you decide to move abroad you can take your skills with you.
