I really loved the tour around the building and seeing all the stations that your apprentices use to learn their skills/trade. That detail will make my explanation to my students much more vivid.

It was enlightening to grasp a better understanding of the program that you offer.  The tour of the building and information that was shared will allow me to better guide students with knowledge and first hand experience of having explored your educational facility.

It amazes me that carpentry is so in demand.  Given our current construction boom, what a great career path.  Plus, the wages are much higher than I originally imagined.  Kudos to the staff and union members that make the Pacific Northwest Carpenters Institute a reality!
Take care,

Thank you for taking the time to educate us.  I had no idea about all the details that entailed doing this job and see construction on a whole new level.  I am also grateful for the tour that you gave us!  Your hospitality in providing us lunch and taking the time to answer our questions was so appreciated.  I have a whole new level of appreciation for the work that carpenters and unions provide.  I can't wait to work with you all.

Thank you so much for opening your doors to us: feeding us lunch, giving us a thorough and very helpful presentation about your organization and the opportunities available in carpentry, and taking us on a tour!  Prior to my visit, I did not know about PNCI and did not have a big knowledge base about apprenticeship programs.  Thank you for providing a clear picture of some excellent career opportunities that I can take back to my students!

Thank you for your time and effort to make our visit a good one.  I signed up for this program hoping to gain a clearer understanding of apprenticeships and of the unions involved.  I was impressed that the union members came together to build such a fine place to train the next generations.

This was a fantastic tour, and it was great to see all of the diverse areas that construction really covers. This helped me be more knowledgeable when I attended other tours that also involved construction in its various types. It was particularly interesting to see the ways in which the school can be flexible to students' needs and finds ways to do things like creating inserts for doors so students can practice adding hardware again and again without having to replace full doors. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.

This facility is awesome! I was blown away by all the options that are available on this campus. I also appreciated the information regarding unions, as this helped me to understand the differences between the open and closed shops we visited in the following days. I hope to be able to get students to this site in the near future!
