Amazing facility and staff. I had the pleasure of attending in april 2018. Looking back, I wish I would've utilized more of the assets that were available while I was there. I learned to lay to the line proficiently, but I should've spent more time dialing in some other techniques. The housing / meal program they have is second to none aswell.

Extraordinario......como tuvieramos uno asi en Peru.

I've tried reaching out to the union after reading about it from a book written in 1880s about tile setting and now just watching the video is making me hungrier

So cool... oh how I wish there was an institution like this here in my country!

[@justAviewerAfterwork]

I've been working 13 years in construction, I need this to perfect a craft to be able to sustain a suitable lifestyle.

Do you need any type of degree to start an apprenticeship Here ?? I’m interested in applying

[@williammartin3704]

No you don’t I went to it

[@Presence_of_Mind_]

No you don't, I graduated they're pre apprentice program last year and have been an apprentice since. I graduated high school but did not go to college, but I don't even think you'd need a highschool diploma. However you do need a decent understanding of math and fractions.

Masonry is the greatest trade ever. Screw carpentry

Gonna be joining local 600 soon I’m 19, someone told me to re consider because all I’ll be doing is carrying 90lbs bags of concrete and cinder black for about 4 hours a day because I’m going to be green, is this true? Someone let me know I’ll be really bummed out

[@saucelujah5133]

you will more than likely be laboring for a while until you start to get the hang and improve on things.

You’re young don’t worry about it
