Apprenticeship Opportunities

Once you have entered the Apprenticeship Program and have completed your six month probationary period, you will become a member of Local 669 and will be enrolled into the related training program.  The apprentice starts work at a percentage of the journeyman wage.  Each six months of apprenticeship, the apprentice records are reviewed to make sure that there is satisfactory progress both on-the-job and in related course.  Satisfactory progress means advancement to the next classification and a wage increase until the apprentice completes the five year program.
