About the department
Welcome to the Carpentry & Construction Trades department at Wrenford Polytechnic. You will learn to build, repair, and maintain structures using wood, steel, and other materials. Our programs prepare you for a career as a carpenter or plumber, whether you want to work for a contractor, start your own business, or join a large construction firm. You will spend most of your time in our large, fully equipped shops to support and apply the theory you learn in class.
