To meet the training needs of persons interested in becoming a Carpenter, LATTC offers a Carpentry Associate in Science degree and a Carpentry Construction Technologies Associate in Arts degree as well as Certificates of Achievement.

The Associate in Science degree is designed for individuals seeking entry-level positions in the field. Students enrolling in this program should be able to commit to full-time student status, which is approximately 24 hours per week. This time commitment is necessary to allow for hands-on training with the laboratory applications used during the course of instruction.

The Associate in Arts degree is an evening-only course of study designed for individuals currently in the field who want to improve their skills or learn new ones. Due to limitations on available evening hours, the utilization of hands-on laboratory application is assumed to be provided at the students’ place of employment.

By fulfilling the program requirements, students will have the necessary knowledge and skills for a career as a Carpenter in the Construction or Maintenance arena. The construction, installation, and repair of structures and fixtures made from wood and other materials, working from blueprints, layout, measuring, marking, and arranging materials in accordance with local building codes, cutting and shaping wood, plastic, fiberglass, or drywall using hand and power tools, joining materials with nails, screws, staples, or adhesives are just some of the skills that will be mastered during this program.

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) ​

Upon completion of the Degree/Certificate program, students are able to:

- Use drawings and other related documents and graphics to communicate information effectively.

- Use hand and power tools, testing equipment, and P.P.E required for performing work in the building construction industry in accordance with industry standards.

In keeping with the LATTC and Construction, Design, and manufacturing mission, we offer transfer courses and provide assistance with job placement in various venues, including architectural, urban planning, and engineering offices; construction management firms; the construction manufacturing industry; and government agencies. We meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards and use sustainable design strategies and current computer tools (including Global Positioning System—GPS, CFM, Computer-aided design—CAD, Geographic Information System—GIS, Building Information Modeling—BIM, 3-D modeling and others) to record, organize, design and maintain the life cycle of the built environment.

Our courses are integrated and comprehensive, covering four clusters of study: 1) design/space-planning/programming; 2) construction documents/BIM; 3) building systems/materials/historical context; and 4) sustainable tools, such as BIM, GPS, CAD, GIS, 3-D modeling, and simulation. Every class includes training in organizational skills, time management, teamwork, communication, and digital file management, and the equipment used in the classroom is the same found in professional offices.

In the architectural design program, students learn additional skills, such as prototyping, visualization, conceptualization, 3-D composition, lighting, proportion, sketching, and modeling.

This critical foundational knowledge can be applied to the fields of industrial design, toy design, furniture design, interior design, landscape architecture, set design, and virtual reality spaces.

By fulfilling the program requirements, students will have the skills needed to enter the field as Architectural Technician who is both problem solver and an integral part of the design process. Students will master the skills necessary to work in the construction, drafting, estimating, building inspection, civil, electrical, mechanical, and structural engineering, construction computer rendering, and computer-aided drawing arenas. General education classes provide a well-rounded education, imparting the knowledge and skills needed to successfully participate in all aspects of society.

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

​Upon completion of the Degree/Certificate program, students are able to:

- Use modern industry tools, software, methods, and techniques required for creating architectural design documents, templates, presentations, and projects.

- Produce construction documents and architectural drawings for a variety of building projects in accordance with industry standards, practices, and principles.

- Design architectural and building solutions for engineering problems utilizing architectural design concepts and techniques, math, and geometrical composition to address human needs and use.

​For many of us, it is obvious how the US transportation system affects our daily lives as we move from one place to another and rely on the system to transport items we purchase and use on a daily basis—particularly through rail transportation. In the Los Angeles region, rail transportation supports the largest container port complex in the U.S., the 9th largest in the world, and the 3rd largest transit agency in the U.S. where nearly 1/5th of transit trips in the region is by commuter, light, or heavy rail. A career in rail transportation, as a rail mechanic, provides an opportunity to work within large rail companies and transportation agencies providing competitive wages, health and retirement benefits, and opportunities for career advancement.

Employment at these companies/agencies often requires starting within entry positions and advancing through promotional opportunities. Because nearly half of the workforce will be eligible to retire within the next 10 years, employment outlook and career advance opportunities are promising. Program completers will also have the requisite competencies to be employed as Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Worker Helpers and Machinery Maintenance Workers which also provide many employment opportunities.

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) ​

Upon completion of the Degree/Certificate program, students are able to:

- Identify and explain the operation of rail vehicles and systems along with related subsystems and related industry standards.

- Diagnose and repair rail vehicles and systems using various manufacturer diagnostic software, tools, and shop equipment in accordance with industry standards.
