Apprenticeship Program
75% of construction companies nationwide are having trouble finding qualified workers
Our Ironworkers Apprenticeship Program is a paid, 4-year training program that provides apprentices on-the-job, professional training to become ironworkers. The program is “earn as you learn,” so you’ll get paid for your work at competitive industry standards. By the end of the Apprenticeship Program, you’ll have a thorough understanding of rigging, welding, surveying, site-safety, and all the skills needed for an ironworker to work and manage a job site.
Benefits: Not only will you get to begin your career immediately, but you’ll be paid for it, too. Our “earn as you learn” mantra makes it possible for you to receive training, work, and earn money to support yourself simultaneously. Each year in our apprenticeship program, your hourly salary will increase. Being an apprentice in our union also makes you eligible for fringe benefits that professional union ironworkers already receive. And, you’ll get to see the final product of your work—right in front of your eyes.
