Description
HatchSpace is pleased to launch a 7-week, full-time, 300-hour intensive program in cabinetmaking beginning in the spring of 2026. Our intensive program is hands-on, skill-focused, and designed for individuals interested in custom cabinetmaking or related woodworking careers. Over the course of the program, students will gain a range of skills from the use of foundational stationary woodshop machines, to sourcing lumber and sheet goods, to an introduction to cabinet design and how global markets, economic trends and new technologies are impacting the work of today’s cabinetmakers. Utilizing HatchSpace’s digital fabrication studio, students will learn the basics of reading technical drawings and complete introductory coursework in CAD (computer aided design) software, as well as gain introductory hands-on experience utilizing CNC machines.
Over the course of the program, students will develop the skills to design and build custom kitchens, vanities, closets, and other built-ins, as well as gain the foundations of architectural millwork. Students leave with the skills needed to secure entry level cabinet shop, woodworking or CNC operator positions, pursue further training and/or apprenticeship programs, and/or launch one’s own small business.
Delivered in downtown Brattleboro, Vermont, and surrounded by some of the world’s finest hardwood forests, students will gain not only the knowledge of fundamental woodworking practices as applied to the cabinetmaking industry, but also an awareness of the interconnected world of forestry products.
Students leave with a HatchSpace Certificate of Completion, and OSHA 10 Safety Certification.
