Carpentry Program

In 2025, FPDI partnered with the UBC Training Centre to deliver a Carpentry Pre‑Apprenticeship Program designed to prepare individuals for entry‑level positions in the construction industry. This 20‑week program combines hands‑on technical training with essential safety certifications and soft skills development. Participants gain access to industry‑standard tools and personal protective equipment (PPE), along with Apprenticeship Manitoba Level 1 Carpentry credit, ensuring they are job‑ready upon completion.

Carpenters perform a wide variety of tasks related to building and repairing entire structures or specific components made from wood, wood substitutes, steel, and other materials. Their work includes cribbing basements, constructing house frameworks, walls, roofs, and exterior finishes, and installing doors, windows, flooring, cabinets, stairs, handrails, paneling, moulding, and ceiling tiles. They are also responsible for building concrete forms, scaffolding, bridges, trestles, tunnels, shelters, towers, and other structures.
