APPRENTICESHIP:
Duluth Orientation 12/13/12 @ 5:00 p.m.
To ALL Apprentices: When the busiest part of the construction season is nearing an end, it is a good time to be thinking about registering and taking some training classes.
All Apprentices must complete 288 training hours and 4000 work hours in three (3) years from their Initiation date to upgrade to Journeyworker. The 3 mandatory classes required for Apprentices to complete the program are Safety Week, General Construction, and Orientation. The Safety Week and Orientation will be offered in Duluth on December 10—14, 2012 with the Orientation being held on Thursday evening (the 13th) prior to our regular union meeting. Both Safety Week and General Construction are 40 Hour classes. In addition to each Apprentice will receive 4 hours of training for completing the Orientation and 2 hours of training for each Union meeting they attend. When attending these meeting be sure to indicate on the register when signing in that you are an Apprentice to ensure that you will receive credit for you attendance.
If you are considering taking the upgrade exam it is scheduled for December 13, 2012, you must have completed a minimum of 160 actual training hours. The Safety Week, General Construction and Orientation are highly recommended to have completed before taking this exam.
Please note: The Apprenticeship Director is Dean Mills. He has been a member of this Union for 22 years and took over the Apprenticeship program in October, 2008. His experience and knowledge will be a great asset to our program.
