CARPENTRY
instructor markus dezelak
I started working at TPJCC on December 13, 2021.
I was a cook for 14 years and then got into construction. Non- Union at first and then joined the Union and worked for Mehrer Drywall as Foreman for 7 years.
I was born in Germany and am a German citizen. I moved to Korea for 2 years and then to the US at age 14. I have 3 children. A 22 year old, 2 year old and 11 month old. I also have 4 dogs, 2 rabbits and a cat.
I chose this trade because I wanted a better career with better pay and benefits for my family!
I decide to work for TPJCC to help students figure out a clear career path and fulfill their goals. I want to help out and give them the same opportunities I had.
My favorite part of the job and working with students is teaching students new skills and seeing their excitement when they succeed.
The most important thing students can or should learn from me is employability skills AKA on the jobsite skills. How to behave on the jobsite and just basic things they should do during their apprenticeship to help them succeed.
The best advice I can give to students heading out into the real world and trade environment is to work hard and always be on time. Believe in yourself and always strive to do your best.
When exceptional students complete we throw them a going away party.

My first day at Tongue Point Job Corps was January 24, 2022. I've worked in the carpentry field as a general carpenter since 1987; as a journeyman carpenter in the Carpenters Union since 2003; and occasionally as a tradeshow carpenter since 2010.
I grew up mostly in California and Oregon. I am married and have a 17-year old son.
We have two cats, a bird, and a horse. I went to college for two years at Eastern Oregon University in La Grande, Oregon.
I continue to upgrade my carpentry skills at the Pacific Northwest Carpenters Institute and at the International Training Center.
Carpentry appealed to me because of the variety of work that is performed.
I wanted to make a difference and share my knowledge.
It's exciting when students learn something and can apply what they learn.
Getting work right the first time is important, and a good carpenter knows how to fix their mistakes.
The best advice I can give students is to: “Show up every day, be on time, and do your best.”
Graduating students usually get a pizza party on their last day.

Instructors will mark the completion of training on a student's Training and Achievement Record (TAR). The proficiency levels on the TAR are 1, 2, and 3. Level 1 being that the student has been introduced to the tool/task, but is not yet proficient enough to do it on their own. Level 2 brings the student to the point where they are comfortable with the tool/task and can accomplish it on their own. Level 3 proficiency is when the student is highly proficient with the tool/task and to the point of being able to teach others. Students must attain at least a 2 proficiency level on all items to complete the trade.
