The Carpenters Education Program has been in constant operation since the mid 1950's providing training for Union Apprentices and Journeymen in New Mexico. Our program is recognized by both the State and Federal Departments of Labor and is also one of the largest and most respected programs in the State. Our graduates make up a major portion of the supervision on construction sites in New Mexico. We train our members extensively in all phases of jobsite safety and also offer a large array of state of the art training in the commercial and residential carpentry field.

The program is a four year curriculum of world class instruction combined with closely monitored on the job training allowing the apprentice to " earn as you learn". Curriculums include a 4 year General Building Construction path and a 3 year Interior Systems path. Students receive some college credit through Central New Mexico Community College that will be counted towards an Associates Degree in Construction Technology Carpentry Specialty.

All of the training is tuition free for our members so the graduate is loan free at the end of the program. Apprentices and graduates enjoy top wages and benefits for their work and are capable of practicing the trade all across the United States and Canada with one of the largest and most progressive labor unions on the planet. The curriculum is taught in New Mexico by United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC) Instructors Certified through Penn State University so you can be assured you are getting a top notch education with professional veteran instructors well seasoned in the trade. Our program accepts apprentices at all skill levels and often awards school credit for previous experience to provide you with the training you need to make you the best craftsman you can be.
