CABINETMAKING (CAB)
(Wallace Campus, Easterlink Correctional Facility)

The Cabinetmaking/Carpentry program is designed to develop skilled craftspersons. Classroom and shop experiences involve layout, fabrication, assembly, and installation of structural units. Instruction emphasizes care and use of hand and power tools, common systems of construction, principles of estimating and blueprint reading, and care and use of numerous wood and composite building materials. Students must purchase their own books and tools.

Students completing all courses listed in the curriculum will be awarded a program certificate. Admission is conditional and depends on the student's ability to perform the essential functions identified for this program. A high school diploma or GED is not required; however, students are required to have specifically documented ability to benefit.  (See page 19, Admission to Courses Not Creditable Toward an Associate Degree.) Reasonable accommodations are considered.
