Members offered free training

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters and construction companies work together in federally regulated Joint Training Committees to provide Carpenter union members with free training in the specialties most needed by the construction industry today. Among other things, members become carpenters, pile drivers, floor layers, millwrights and exhibit builders.

What's more, union members get free training for as long as they work. They are ready as technology and the needs of the industry change.

As apprentices, members learn the latest techniques of their chosen specialty and study math, estimating, blueprint reading, safety and first aid. They become skilled in the use and care of tools. They work with wood, metal and the latest synthetic materials.

• A high school diploma or General Equivalency Degree (GED).
• The ability to pass a high school math test.
• The ability to work with others.
• The ability to arrive on the job on time and work hard.
