INDUCTION PROGRAM FOR HOBBYISTS

At BWS, we believe in the principle of skill sharing to propagate knowledge and enable individuals to create on their own using carpentry techniques. As the base, we offer a one-week woodworking program as an induction into the field of woodworking. Individuals work alongside our carpenters and get to practise carpentry with skilled guidance in a safe environment. The training includes two woodworking exercises which you will be able to take home.

FOR OTHER COMPANIES

BWS offers continuous training for employees of other organisations. This continuous training is a system of training for 2 weeks every 8 weeks; for an overall period of two years. A shorter version of the program would be for one year. This program upskills employees of other companies to have better processes, learn how to read drawings better, make prototypes, refine joinery and minimise the time they take for each piece. As a part of the training, the employees will be taught with regard to pieces of the company they are from, so that the learning can directly benefit the company.

PER PROJECT (all levels of skill)

For those who have a background in carpentry or have done the BWS Induction course/basic woodworking course from other organisations, we offer our space to be used as a MakerSpace. Our team is available to guide you and help you resolve your design technically and to assist you in the execution of the design. The wood and miscellaneous material charges would be as per actuals for these projects.
