Carpenter at Amarillo Carpenters Jac

The Amarillo Carpenters JAC sponsors this union carpenter apprenticeship in Amarillo, Texas. As a Joint Apprenticeship Committee program, it is supported by labor and management partners in the Amarillo construction market, offering paid, structured training for those entering the carpentry trade.

This four-year program requires 8,000 hours of on-the-job training and 576 hours of related technical instruction.
