Your Career

Graduates of this program can gain employment building store fixtures, architectural millwork, in furniture construction and in the kitchen cabinet industry.

There has been a growing interest in our graduates from employers over the past number of years. Humber offers a comprehensive program that gives students a solid grounding in woodworking. We stress the safe operation of common stationary machines and introduce basic manufacturing processes. Our curriculum is guided by an independent industry-based advisory board.

Our Program

Our program provides you with the knowledge and skills to construct cabinets and fine furniture using both traditional recognized trade practices, as well as computer-based technologies. Students will complete a series of woodworking projects exploring various types of joinery and construction techniques using hand tools, portable power tools, and stationary machines.

Courses also focus on: verbal and written communication, critical thinking, problem solving, mathematics, and interpersonal/ teamwork skills.

Graduates of this program will be able to produce shop drawings, calculate material lists, operate woodworking machinery and also assemble and apply a finish to a basic cabinet or piece of furniture.
