Who Makes a Good Woodworker?
A perfectionist, one with an eye for detail who is meticulous about doing a task right. Woodworkers need the patience and diligence to sand out every scratch and make joints meet perfectly. A person who is good with numbers, particularly measuring with an inch ruler and working with fractions. Someone with an alert mind, who is constantly careful around machinery, power tools, dust, and chemicals. One with a fit body, who is able to stand all day and can lift up to 50 lbs. A thinker who enjoys a challenge, plans well, and solves problems. Woodworkers work from blueprints and visualize how parts will fit together

What is the tuition charge?
The Woodworking program tuition is $12,475. This includes the cost of the training, placement services, and instructional materials. If an applicant is not eligible for Federal, State, or City funding, a $25 registration fee is required. There are no separate fees for books, supplies, equipment, or services.
If an applicant is eligible under the Federal, State, and/or City funding sources available, tuition and registration are waived. GWTP programs are designed to meet the needs of low-income, disadvantaged workers. This waiver of tuition is limited by the availability of Federal, State, and City funds or of grants received from private foundations and donations.
