Carpenters perform a wide variety of jobs ranging from commercial and industrial construction, to new home construction, to home remodeling. All of these jobs require similar skills, including a strong knowledge of math, algebra, geometry, physics, and hot to read a blueprint. Other things that a carpenter must be familiar with are the basics of home or building design, how to interact with other contractors such as plumbers and electricians, building regulations and requirements, and, of course, the use of tools.

While carpenters used to learn their trade on the job, it is now common practice to combine classroom training with hands on experience. The process of becoming a skilled carpenter can take up to 4 years. Carpentry schools provide the academic background needed in the job. This can include math and physics courses, as well as learning the basics of design, construction, and the use of specialized tools.
