MSU-Northern’s Northern’s Carpentry Technology program offers practical hands-on technology skills, mixed with electrical fundamentals, technical graphics, welding, and math.

The construction industry employs more people and contributes more to the nation’s economy than any other industry. This means that there will always be a source of well paying jobs and career opportunities.
Opportunity is driven by knowledge and ability, which are in turn driven by education and training. This program of the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) was designed and developed by the construction industry for the construction industry. It is the only nationally-accredited, competency-based construction training program in the United States. A competency-based program requires that the trainee demonstrate the ability to safely perform specific job-related tasks.
“The academic and technical offerings available to students at MSU-Northern will
propel them to be able to be competitive in the global marketplace while giving
Montana a trained workforce that can respond quickly and flexibly to specific industry
needs.”
Paul Tuss, Executive Director Bear Paw Development
“The shortfall in construction is not projected, it is here! Your new program is
of great interest to us.”
Jim Lake, Vice President Swank Enterprises
“Presently I am turning away 50% of the projects that come into our office due to
a lack of qualified construction workers. I would whole heartedly support such a
program, and would offer any assistance my firm could make to get the program off
the ground.”
Brad Lotton, President Lotton Construction, Inc
“It is imperative that industry and education work together to develop a new generation
of workers in the skilled trades. This need cannot be overstated.”
Evan Peacock, Project Manager Dick Anderson Construction, INC.
