People 17 years or older,
with a high school diploma or G.E.D.*, may apply to learn
and earn on the job for a well-paying career in the
construction industry. All apprenticeships provide a
comprehensive benefit package (medical, dental and
vision insurance, a pension plan, etc.), job security
and safe working conditions. *Some programs allow for
the G.E.D. to be completed concurrent with the
apprenticeship.
Apprenticeship programs are
open to males, females, minorities and most demand excellent
physical coordination coupled with mental ability,
specifically math and analytical skills. Manual coordination
and physical ability is a must.
Programs run from 2 to 5
years and combine on the job training under master craftspersons with classroom learning. All apprenticeship
programs are free and most include books and paid college
credits.
Each program varies and
specific details are available from individual
apprenticeship coordinators. These contacts and general
information are available from:
