Using the following training matrixes, local JATCs can design flexible training programs to meet the needs of our local industries while at the same time providing apprentices the opportunity to complete their apprenticeship. The Standard Skills Matrix is the core of the Curriculum. These are the skills every Interior Systems Carpenter should have regardless of the Industry he/she is employed in.
Each industry sector is identified and additional skills are listed in these industry sector training matrixes. Industry sector skills are combined with standard skills to identify local training needs. No one will complete all of the training modules listed in the industry sector matrices. Therefore, training modules should be selected to meet the training needs of local industries and of each member.
This system of training modules identified as Standard Skills or Industry Sector Skills can be compared to the system colleges’ use in their required and elective courses. This system will allow flexibility and provide the specialty contractors and shop owners with qualified apprentices. This system will also give apprentices a larger scope of skill and knowledge, thus making them more employable.
For each training module listed on the training matrixes, there is a sheet listing the skill requirements and reference material regularly used to train that training module. This information is continually updated by the CITF. To get the expanded updated information on each training module, contact the CITF.
There are three (3) specialty classifications extracted from the Interior Systems Training Matrixes: Drywall Applicator Specialist, Acoustical Carpenter Specialist, and Lathing Specialist. Training modules for these specialties should be selected primarily from the following matrices:
| Standard Skills | Acoustical Ceiling Skills | Drywall Framer Skills | Lathing Skills | Residential Metal Framing Skills | Advanced Skills | |
| Drywall Applicator Specialist | X | X | X | |||
| Acoustical Carpenter Specialist | X | X | X | |||
| Lathing Specialist | X | X | X |
For each training module listed on the training matrixes, there is a sheet listing the skill requirements and reference material that can be used to train that training module.
