Journeyman Program

Extended Learning Program

THE BEST CARPENTERS RECEIVE THE BEST TRAINING

It’s simple really: Union carpenters are the best because they are the best trained.  The JSC offers more than 25 different classes to Journeyman carpenters to provide continuous education and skill enhancement.  Classes are free to members in good standing and are usually held in the evenings and on weekends. 

The ELP classes are designed to teach or enhance specific skills such as door hardware installation, hardwood floor installation and repair, welding, print reading, and site layout with the Total Station.  Many ELP classes lead to much sought after industry certifications including OSHA 10/30, First Aid/CPR, Rigging, Scaffolding, Solid Surface, and Aerial Lift Operator.  View the current schedule.

By continuously increasing their knowledge and skills, Journeyman and Apprentices are better prepared to complete jobs with quality and efficiency, leading to greater productivity on the job.
