More Applied Technology Programs
Graduates of this program can gain employment building store fixtures, architectural millwork, in furniture construction and in the kitchen cabinet industry.
There has been a growing interest in our graduates from employers over the past number of years. Humber offers a comprehensive program that gives students a solid grounding in woodworking. We stress the safe operation of common stationary machines and introduce basic manufacturing processes. Our curriculum is guided by an independent industry-based advisory board.
Our program provides you with the knowledge and skills to construct cabinets and fine furniture using both recognized, traditional trade practices and new technologies. Students complete projects using various types of woodworking joints produced by hand tools, portable power tools, and machine tools. Courses also focus on: communication, computer, business, critical thinking, problem solving, mathematics, and interpersonal/teamwork skills. Using woodworking production equipment and hand tools, graduates will be able to lay out, calculate, cut, machine, assemble, and finish a cabinet or a piece of fine furniture.
Qualified graduates of this program may be eligible to apply their academic credits toward further study at many postsecondary institutions. For detailed information, visit our Web site at transferguide.humber.ca or refer to the Humber Transfer Guide.
