TRAINING PROGRAM
The ironworker apprenticeship is a four-year apprenticeship with first-year apprentices starting at 60 percent of the journeymen wage. Apprentices combine on-the-job training with a minimum of 640 hours of classroom and hands on training throughout the four years of their apprenticeship. They learn structural, reinforcing, and ornamental construction and acquire several certifications along the way including welding – ALL AT NO COST TO THE APPRENTICE. At the end of the four-year apprenticeship, they earn insurance benefits for themselves and their family and have already established retirement benefits and credits towards a college degree.
An ironworker will learn structural, reinforcing, and ornamental construction that will leave the public in awe of the finished build.
