Construction Apprenticeship with the International Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers

Follow a day in the life of an apprentice with the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC). Join us as we go behind-the-scenes on exciting construction projects across the country. See state-of-the-art technology in action at the Naval Station Great Lakes. Find out what it takes to restore a National Historic Landmark like the Cook County Hospital. And enjoy the stunning city view on the 35th floor of a high-end hotel -- just another day at the "office" for BAC apprentices.
Whether you're interested in working with brick, block, tile, marble, terrazzo, restoration, plaster, refractory, cement, or rainscreen, there are endless options with a career in the trowel trades.

This is my dream. Its hard to get into the union. But its definitely worth it. All I can do is apply and pray. That always works.

You need to have a class fully dedicated to showing up on time and how to stop making excuses for laziness and poor decision-making!

Howdey, my name is Nia Lovell. I'm very very interested in becoming a Local 1 bricklayer and driven to expand in the industry. I'm attending IMI webinars, OSHA 10 and finishing up with my pre-apprenticeship with NEW. Where can I get more info about training?

The other side not depicted here that Bricklayers and Allied Crafts unions cover is Refractory. You can find signatory refractory contractors on BAC websites. We work in refining, power, steel, cement and food processing. We are a bit of an insulated industry from economic turmoil. Lots of overtime available as well.
