85% On the Job Training

The best learning experiences come from hands on, real life work. By working under journey level contractors, students begin putting their classroom training to use in the field.

"What impresses me the most about our students is their eagerness to learn. They do not want to just know how; they want to know why. It is great to start out with a natural aptitude for the mechanics of the trade, but in the end it is a desire to learn and continuously improve that sets many of our apprentices above and beyond the average young employee. I believe that the union floor layer is given a reason to feel invested in the idea of the brotherhood. I truly admire the training program’s focus on the betterment of its members."
