Production Worker

A carpenter is someone who builds things with wood.

Some carpenters specialize in building ships and buildings.

Others specialize in furniture.

Carpenters usually have a formal education in carpentry and often have on-the-job experience as a helper or apprentice.

They typically learn on the job by assisting experienced carpenters, but apprentice programs exist at vocational schools, community colleges, and woodworking programs at technical colleges.
