APPRENTICES AT WORK
CELEBRATING
YEARS
OF TRAINING
Apprenticeship graduation is similar to completing a
university degree while working full time. All apprentices
successfully complete a 2 to 4-year program that requires full
time employment with daily on-the-job training. Apprentices
are also required to attend classes, two nights per week, after
working all day.
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS INCLUDE:
Carpentry, Cement Masonry, Drywall Lather
& Installer, Drywall Finisher, Equipment
Operator, Laborer, and Painter.
The AGC Apprenticeship continues to improve training for
contractor member journeymen, tuition free, by expanding
the Journeyman Continuing Education Program in 2017.
Journeymen now have over 200 free classes available to them
to advance their leadership, craft skills, and safety practices.
