Apprenticeships last about four to five years, requiring many hours of training under licensed professionals. With the carpentry profession in the United States employing approximately 352,779 people as of 2024, reflecting a 1.1% average growth rate over the five-year period from 2019 to 2024, the demand for skilled carpenters remains strong.
