Northern States to launch millwork/cabinetry training program
6/14/2009
Millwork
and cabinetry professionals are often asked to achieve two seemingly
contradictory objectives: Deliver high quality craftsmanship while keeping
costs low. While resolving these two issues is no doubt challenging, the new
Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (JATC) of North Central States Council
of Carpenters (NCSCC) is determined to strike that balance.
A
brand new millwork and cabinetry program is set to launch in Minnesota this
spring, with expectations for enrollment to steadily grow. Employers recognize
the need for skilled, trained craftsman in maintaining our industry, said
Donald Kern, Business Representative for millwork and cabinetry with the NCSCC
& the Carpenters Industrial Council. Our goal is to train the next
generation of cabinet makers and increase their awareness of the ever-changing
technology that impacts our work.
