In today's construction industry, union building tradesmen have no equal.

They are better trained in the latest work methods of their trades and they have access to all the latest construction industry technology. This means that Union tradesmen set the industry standards for productivity, professionalism and safety. This results in union construction contractors having a clear competitive advantage over their competition, putting them in the best position to meet the needs of the wide variety of customers that they serve.
But there is more. This also means opportunity for union tradesmen and their families. It is opportunity for a good job, a successful career, for life long learning and the prospect of secure retirement.

Setting the Standard.

Union labor and Union management work together for the construction industry in some important ways.
They continuously evaluate the industry by considering the current and future needs of their customers. They also evaluate the needs of their union tradesmen to be better trained, more productive, more professional and safer. This leads to their important work of setting the educational and training standards that are used in the development and evaluation of all training programs offered to our apprentices and journeymen.
The end result is always the same. The successful training of union building tradesmen that have no equal in quality and productivity and have the prospect of a good job and a secure future.

The opportunity for life long learning.

Your trade's apprenticeship program offers an opportunity for a great education. You will become basically trained at the outset of your career in all the latest work methods and technology. But this opportunity does not stop here. Life long learning is available to you as a union journeyman. Classes are offered to help you to continually train in your trade, allowing you to learn new skills and to stay current on those skills that you already possess. Life long learning is your key to job security, helping you to make yourself more valuable to your union contractor and to maximize your earning potential as you grow in the trade.
The International Training program also offers apprentices and journeymen a valuable training opportunity. As part of their constant commitment to insuring that union building tradesmen have no equal in their quality and productivity, our International Union partners with key product manufacturers in our industry to design and deliver special product training at regional training centers throughout the US and Canada. In this way the International Union helps to insure our Union contractors competitive advantage over the non-union competition by allowing them to better meet the needs of customers they serve.
