Purpose for this Lesson
We’re only going to cover five for now
1. Cabinet Maker2. Carpenter3. Wood Shop Educator4. CNC Operator5. Construction Manager
Examples of Jobs
Woodworkers manufacture a variety of products such as cabinets and
furniture, using wood, veneers, and laminates. They often combine and
incorporate different materials into wood.
Working conditions vary-some woodworkers may encounter machinery
noise and wood dust and others in modern plants with good lighting,
active dust control, and sound deadening enclosures.
Some entry-level jobs can be learned in less than 1 year, becoming fully
proficient generally takes at least 3 years of on-the-job training. The ability
to use computer-controlled machinery is becoming increasingly important.
High School diploma
In 2012 the median annual pay for woodworkers was $28,440 per year,
$13.67/hour

Southwest than in any other part of the country. In addition, industrial arts teachers who have graduate degrees
generally have an easier time finding employment.
Woodshop Educator
Computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery is used by CNC operators to cut and
shape metal and plastic for various types of manufacturing.
Must have mechanical skills and be able to read blueprints.
Require operators to have basic computer programming skills and experience with
computer-aided design and manufacturing programs.
Complete associate degree programs in manufacturing technology or certificate
programs
Certificate and degree programs include coursework in basic math, CNC machine
operation and setup, blueprint reading and CNC tooling.
Must have excellent mechanical aptitude and experience with equipment, such as
precision grinders, machine tools, lathes and lasers, used for cutting, grinding and
milling.
Have strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills and analytical skills
