TRAINING PROGRAM

Paid work. Real skills.

Our trainees are employees. They are hired, paid, and trained on the job, building products that are sold in our shop.

Who it’s for

Adults in Rhode Island who are in recovery from addiction and ready to commit to a steady work schedule. No woodworking experience is needed.

What trainees learn

  • Shop safety with hand tools and power tools
  • Measuring, milling, joinery, and finishing
  • Taking a piece from plan to finished product
  • Workplace habits: showing up, teamwork, quality, and pride in the work

[To do: confirm the curriculum, program length, and weekly hours.]

How it works

Trainees work alongside experienced woodworkers, starting with simple pieces and moving to more complex builds as their skills grow. The products they make go straight into our shop, so their work is real from day one.
