Union Apprenticeship Programs
Ever wish you could be a carpenter or a mason…a chef or a firefighter? Such jobs are in high demand, but how do you go about learning a new trade if you've never even hammered a nail? Apprenticeship Training is one way to tackle this problem. This program lets you work with experienced tradespeople, who will teach you the skills required for profession. Through an apprentice program, you work while you learn and are paid a salary in return for your services. The following list includes formal Apprenticeship Committees, by trade, that serve Humboldt and Del Norte Counties.
