Position Overview
Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia’s Carpentry Fellowship Program provides an opportunity to develop the foundational skills necessary to start a career in residential carpentry. Over the course of a 12-month term, Fellows will participate in a variety of classroom-based and hands-on training opportunities. Supplemental training in basic plumbing, electrical, and masonry – alongside some soft skills training and professional support. Additionally, Fellows will augment crew capacity on active HFHP construction sites, supporting staff carpenters as needed on a variety of projects including critical home repair, gut rehabs, and new home construction. This unique blend of training and on-site experience provides the foundational skills needed for a career in Carpentry and home building.
