📢 MAKE-UP WEEK REMINDER, APPRENTICES! 📢

We are looking to get a headcount for our upcoming make-up weeks:

📅 October 19–23
📅 November 9–13

If you plan to attend either of these make-up weeks, please RSVP in advance so we can better prepare for class and make sure we have enough apprentices attending to make holding class worthwhile.

📧 To RSVP, please email Haylee at [email protected] and let us know which make-up week you plan to attend.

Starting in January, we will begin requiring apprentices to plan ahead and let us know whether or not they will be attending make-up week. We are still working out the details and will send an additional email in the next couple of weeks with more information on how to RSVP and how far in advance you will need to RSVP.

Thank you for helping us better prepare for make-up weeks! We appreciate your cooperation. 👷‍♂️👷‍♀️

🚧 Another ! 🚧

Throwing it back to when we had a crane donated to the Local 406 Apprenticeship site! 🏗️

It’s hard to believe how much the site has changed since then. Before the rock and concrete you see today, this is what the area looked like where our cranes now sit.

We’re proud to look back at where we started and see how far the apprenticeship site has come! 💪🏼👷‍♂️
