For NC alum, Andy Orban, a one-day trades bootcamp opened his eyes to a career in carpentry and set him on a path from Niagara College student to apprentice to Red Seal carpenter in just four years.

After studying math and economics at university and working in automotive assembly, Andy was looking for a career that would challenge him, keep him learning and leave him proud of what he accomplished each day.

That search led him to NC’s Carpentry program, where hands-on learning helped him discover his passion.
