This month, both the first year and the second-year students continue to work in the carpentry module of the curriculum, taught by Anthony Minimi. Mr. Minimi is the carpentry instructor at Atlantic Technical College and has been a tremendous supporter of our program. 

While each apprentice may be working on a different proficiency during their on-the-job training with their respective employer, in the classroom, they are in full swing on their next project. The apprentices are completing the drafts for their cabinet project; working on project plans and cutting sides and supports.

They are learning how to use specific carpentry tools and cutting the plywood on sawhorses that they each designed and built themselves. 

We are very close to securing a new instructor, stay tuned for the update! 

We are also beginning the recruitment for our next class, which begins January 2023. We are in the very beginning stage but if you are interested in hiring a new employee to send to the program, sending one of your newer employees or want to send a current employee to gain additional skills, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Lori@miasf.org to secure your spot or if you have any questions.
