Students at work

The career opportunities in this field are numerous and they are quite divergent. For example, a carpenter,woodworker, or mason can work as an individual contractor, and sole proprietor, or, can be employed by a large corporation or institution as part of a building maintenance team. Other opportunities exist in working for larger construction firms, building sub-contractors, or specialized construction businesses. Those specializing in woodworking have other types of opportunities in cabinet making and interior, finish construction.

The job titles associated with the graduates of this program are:

• Carpenter
• Mason
• Woodworker
• Cabinet Maker
• Remodeler

A second option for the graduate is to transfer to a four-year degree granting institution with a program in this field. Two regional colleges, which offer a bachelor's degree in a related area to which our graduates can transfer are:

B.S. Construction Management
Pennsylvania College of Technology
Williamsport, Pennsylvania

B.S. Wood Products Technology
ESF at Syracuse University
Syracuse NY

A related career option would be to transfer to a
school with a Technology Education or a Vocational Education bachelor's degree, and this would lead to a teaching career at the high school level. In New York State, two schools with this degree are SUNY at Oswego and SUNY at Buffalo.
