IMPACT YOUR FUTURE
WHY UNION?
Labor unions have long advocated for fair wages, better retirement, job security, safer work environments and other worker protections. But unions aren’t only good for workers; they’re good for our communities. Union apprenticeships turn out some of the most highly trained professionals who are reliable, efficient and committed to safe practices on every project. And because unions help negotiate higher wages, they contribute to reduced income inequality and strengthen the economy.
Earn while you learn
As a union apprentice, you receive a top-notch education at no cost to you. Plus, you’ll receive an excellent wage and benefits while gaining on-the-job experience with a signatory contractor. Your apprenticeship also gives you access to health, pension and welfare benefits, so you’ll be able to retire comfortably and confidently.
Unsure where your future will take you? There are endless opportunities waiting for you in the union construction industry! Opportunities where you can make the most of your natural skills and give you a boost up the ladder of success. Best of all, you don’t need to go to college to build a successful career for yourself. Earn while you learn and start your future career debt-free!
