To become eligible for employment and on-the-job training, the apprentice must complete the program’s initial classroom and hands-on training session. It is during this initial session that the apprentice receives training in basic construction skills, safety awareness, and work ethics. For more info:

These programs offer an ‘earn while you learn’ opportunity to launch a lifetime career. You will receive quality training and limitless opportunities to advance while earning a paycheck and health benefits. An apprentice learns through classroom study and on-the-job training, working side by side with a skilled Journeyman.
