See our opportunities

Grow our people – it’s right there in our purpose. To that end, we’ve created multiple training programs and career advancement opportunities through our in-house Nabholz University. From our Carpentry Apprenticeship Program to Craft Leadership Development, a Superintendent Development Program to various leadership courses, we are committed to helping our employees build a rewarding career in the industry.

CARPENTRY APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM

Quality construction starts with quality people. That’s why Nabholz offers a Carpentry Apprenticeship program led by some of the most knowledgeable and experienced carpenters in our region. This four-year program is open to anyone interested in the carpentry profession. We currently offer in-person classes in Conway, Little Rock, and Rogers, Arkansas and in Springfield, Missouri. Remote learning is available to our other locations.
What to Expect
A team of experienced Nabholz construction professionals will serve as your instructors, combining their years of experience with a solid curriculum from the National Center for Construction Education & Research. Classes meet one evening a week and run for nine months each year–from late August through early May. The entire program takes four years to complete. Instruction isn’t limited to just the classroom–your instructors will guide you through real-world, hands-on project experiences. When you graduate you will receive a diploma from the US Department of Labor and Nabholz University.
Program Cost
Apprentice participants are only asked to pay for their textbook. This varies from year to year, with the most recent textbook priced at $85. The cost for current Nabholz employees is $50.
