“There are a lot of good, young people coming through the carpenters’ apprenticeship program. Most apprentices that get into the program take it very seriously. They understand that they’re getting into a real career.
The fact is that they’re the next generation of leaders…of builders of our city.
The opportunities for a graduate of the carpenters’ apprenticeship program are endless. The carpenters’ apprenticeship program offers a great working understanding of all the trades. It’s the reason why carpenters, more than any other trade, become supervisors, foremen and superintendents.”
