Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship is both an ancient tradition and a
highly-effective modern training method, particularly for
those choosing to work in the exciting and increasingly
technical construction industry.
LU # 475's apprentices learn through both classroom and
on-the-job training in what is considered by many to be the
best construction industry apprentice program in the world.
The five-year apprenticeship period is divided into one-year
segments, each of which includes 2,000 hours of on-the-job
training and a minimum of 216 hours of related classroom
instruction.
All training programs are run through United Association
local joint training committees in specific cities or
regions, and are overseen by National Joint Training
Committees. One of the things that makes the UA training
program so successful is that we view it as a joint
partnership between labor and management.
Apprenticeship is not an easy time, apprentices must work
the same hours as journeymen plus attend classes. Yet, this
can be a highly rewarding career path for an individual who
is motivated to learn the piping trade and become an active
member of a proud and noble trade union.
