Wood Technology
The scope of the knowledge required is such that students wishing to pursue carpentry and joinery, either for career or personal goals, require a broader knowledge base. Students should be given opportunities to increase their knowledge through additional courses.
More advanced Carpentry and Joinery programs are designed to help students make career choices, and to develop the necessary marketable skills to expand their knowledge and education in the technology field. For example, students who wish to pursue careers in the carpentry and joinery field, may use their secondary school programs towards a number of options. One example is expanding their knowledge and skills into the area of residential construction.
Students will have opportunities to understand the maintenance and operation of tools and equipment, and the use of a variety of materials and finishes. This knowledge will enable them to build, and enjoy the benefits of creating, projects made with wood.
To meet career challenges, students must be able to communicate effectively, make independent decisions, solve problems, work independently and cooperatively with individuals from diverse backgrounds, and become technically competent.
