The Carpenters of Nirimba
Ian Wolner shares with SkillsOne about what's involved in the carpentry course at Narimba TAFE. He chats about the skills from creating materials such as trusses, cupboards, and stairs.
We also chat to Luke Connor, a caprentry apprentice, with his view of the strengths of the course.
We learn what skills these students will gain from the course - from academic, to the practical skills.
