RELATED INSTRUCTION OUTLINE (Training Matrixes)
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 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. Often, a skill is listed in more than one sector. (Certified SMAW
welding is an example) No one will complete all of the training modules listed in the
industry sector matrixes. 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.
Residential Carpenter Specialist training will use the following training matrixes:
- Standard Carpentry Skills
- Residential Carpentry Construction
- Residential Metal Framing
