Hawaii requires carpenters to be licensed through the state apprenticeship program administered by the Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. Carpenters typically complete a registered apprenticeship program. Contractors must be licensed by the Hawaii Contractors License Board (https://cca.hawaii.gov/pvl/boards/contractor/).
