Mandatory orientation for all instructors (TA and faculty) using the Woodshop as part of their course instruction where their students will be required to use the Woodshop as part of that course requirement.

The training sessions are offered once annually. If you’re only going to be using the wood shop for the purposes of a demo (students will not be working in the shop) you won’t need this Orientation.
