The Industrial Woodworking Technician diploma program (located at the Humber Centre for Trades and Technology) provides students with the knowledge and skills to construct and install basic cabinets, as well as build traditional furniture using recognized trade practices. By completing a series of woodworking projects, students explore various types of joinery and construction techniques using hand tools, portable power tools, stationary machines, as well as computer-based technologies. Time management skills and the ability to work to a deadline are developed and emphasized throughout the program.

Graduates of the program will be able to produce shop drawings, calculate a list of materials, cut out and assemble basic cabinetry or furniture, and apply a finish. Graduates are able to safely operate most common stationary woodworking machinery, as well as run a number of CNC machines.

What You’ll Learn

  • Solve routine technical problems related to shop environments using a variety of systemic approaches.
  • Interpret and produce graphics and other standard technical documents necessary for the installation, maintenance, repair, and manufacture of components.

The media labs are amazing, and I’ve already started freelancing while in school. It’s not perfect (what school is?), but it’s helped me find my voice and my future.

As a new Canadian, Humber made me feel at home from day one. The campus is diverse, welcoming, and full of resources. Professors understand that students come from different backgrounds and learning styles, and they really take the time to help. I never thought I’d feel this confident about my career path.
