RHINELANDER - Some contractors struggle to find skilled workers here in the Northwoods. There is a high demand for them now that home construction is back in high gear.
To meet the demand, Nicolet College is starting a Carpentry Apprenticeship Program this fall. It's geared toward people with little to no experience.
"They're paired up with a journey worker, someone that already has all the skills that a carpenter would need to have to be effective in the workforce," says Nicolet College Dean Brigitte Kumbier. "So they partner them up and the apprentice learns from the journey worker and after a four year period of time they earn the journey worker credential."
