What Apprentices Say...

  • Working hard and feeling appreciated after the job is complete...there's nothing better than that. Being part of something that's long-lasting... when you look at some of these structures that are being erected in this city, we're a part of that. Plus, I get an annuity, just for showing up and being to work on time. That gives you a sense of security for you and your family in the years to come.
  • I was interested in this trade because I felt that I could do well at it. If somebody had given me this advice, I would have done it years ago. It's something you can do to make a living for a lifetime. It's definitely something you want to get into.
