What is Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeship is a well-organized and supervised training method we use to enable people with little or no prior knowledge of our craft or trade to become qualified journeymen. It is an “earn while you learn program” as the on-the-job portion of the training is a full- time, well- paid job.

1. The apprentices are employed under a union contract, which includes regular wage increases and diversified training.
2. You are paid good wages while you learn.
3. You will gain experience using the most modern practices.
4. You will work under the direction of a competent Journeyman who will teach you the trade in the shop and at the job-site. You will receive close personal attention.
5. You will attend evening classes a minimum of six (6) hours each week, and one (1) or more Saturday classes per month to receive techical instruction related to our trade. This is one reason for our high academic entrance requirements
