What Are Students Saying about Commercial Carpentry?

"Just as valuable as the carpentry skills that I learned were the soft skills I gained in the lab and classroom. If I had gone straight to work in the field without taking this program, not only would I have not had all the carpentry skills that I learned at Pickaway-Ross, but I wouldn't have had the teamwork, problem-solving, or leadership skills that I gained."

Andrew, Commercial Carpentry Graduate Class of 2024  

   Employee at ACP Ohio (Acoustic Ceiling Panels)

"In Commercial Carpentry, I learned how to build walls out of metal, hang and finish drywall, and install drop ceilings. This program helped me in the workforce by showing me what was expected of me."

Levin, Commercial Carpentry Graduate, Class of 2024  

   Employee at ACP Ohio (Acoustic Ceiling Panels)

"Commercial Carpentry most definitely built character within me and gave me the skills to start in life and excel in the trades. And most importantly I learned If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late - and if you're late you're fired!"

Jimmy, Commercial Carpentry Graduate, Class of 2020  

   Employee at Mars

"I came into the Commercial Carpentry program with no knowledge at all, and now I have a job that I enjoy showing up to everyday. The program helped me by teaching the same exact stuff I see on job sites."

Addison, Commercial Carpentry Graduate Class of 2024  

   Employee at Valley Interior Systems

"While I was at Pickaway Ross I was able to learn everything from estimating for take offs to the names of each tool in book work, and was also able to layout, frame, hang and install acoustic ceilings and much more during our hands on activities. Aaron is a great mentor during school while trying to get you ready for the real world and thereafter. I'm grateful I went through the Commercial Carpentry Program and get to use the skills I was taught everyday out in the field to make a good living for my family."

- Justin  

   Class of 2016

"I liked the commercial carpentry program because it gave me a chance to learn a little bit of what I will be doing before going out into the workforce.  In commercial carpentry I leaned how to build walls out of metal, how to hang and finish drywall, and how to install drop ceilings. Commercial carpentry helped me in the workforce by showing me what was expected of me. "
