 The
employment outlook for carpentry graduates is very promising.
Construction is one of the fastest growing industries in the United
States offering a wide variety of employment opportunities. Today there
is a major shortage of skilled workers entering this field. All that a
potential student has to do is look in the local newspaper’s “Want
Ads” to see these employment opportunities.
In the last few years, the requests for
Cooperative Education students have exceeded the demand. Many times
it is overlooked that up to 50% of young people do not go to college or
only attend for a short period of time. These young people need to learn
a trade in order to make a decent living.
