Journey Worker Training

An experienced journey worker instructs apprentices participating in a finishing class. The insight journey workers provide to beginning carpenters is invaluable to the carpentry trade in Hawai`i.

Generally, journey workers have 8,000 hours of field work and have demonstrated proficiency in one or more areas of our craft such as:

Carpentry:

  • Rough Framing (Wood Framing / Siding / Stacking / Metal Framing)
  • Form
  • Finish (Installer / Overall)
  • All Around Residential Housing
  • Transit and/or Layout

Drywall:

  • Acoustic
  • Hanging / Framing
  • Gyp Crete
  • Taper

The Carpenters Union's training program offers the latest in technology and techniques in its continuing education classes for journey-level carpenters and drywall workers. Journey worker upgrade courses include metal framing, basic and advanced welding, forklift, and an OSHA-approved scaffold erection class. Additional courses become available as the needs of the industry change.

The training program also offers refresher courses to sharpen your skills. For more information, please contact us.
