Earn-while-you-learnBuild Skills, Careers through

ApprenticeshipsBy VIRGINIA SHANKTribune Chronicle

A number of new projects are on the horizon for theMahoning Valley and with those come increased de-mands for skilled workers. Unions in Trumbull, Mahoning and Columbiana

counties represent more than 4,000 individuals work-ing in building trades. Although their rosters already contain thousands of

names, local building trades leaders said room exists toadd more. They are supporting national efforts to pro-mote the “earn-while-you-learn,” or on-the-job-train-ing, model.“It's a busy time, but it's also very exciting,” said Don

Crane, president of Western Reserve Building TradesCouncil. “There's definitely a need for apprenticeships.The opportunities are here for people wanting to pur-sue them.”Workers typically join trade unions through appren-

ticeship programs.Last year, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report-

ed that there was a record 5.8 million job openings na-

Apprentice training includes classroomwork and on the job experience.

DESCRIPTIONBAC craft workers build, repair and renovate struc-tures, and portions of structures that are made ofbrick and other clay products, structural tile, con-crete, cement, stone, marble, glassblock, terra cotta,tile, terrazzo, plaster, mosaics, castables and artificialmasonry units made of any material. Their work in-cludes laying, setting installation or application of allsuch materials and the preparation of all structuresor components to receive such materials. The skilledcrafts represented by the BAC, often called the troweltrades, are Bricklaying and Block Laying, ConcreteMasonry, Plastering, Pointing, Caulking and Restora-tion, Refractory and Industrial Masonry, Stone andMarble Masonry, Terrazzo Work, Tile Laying and Mo-saic Work.

APPRENTICESHIPApprentices enter the trowel trades through appren-ticeship with a local joint apprenticeship and trainingcommittee (JATC). JATC’s recruit, screen and selectapprentice candidates and oversee their progress onthe job and in the classroom. The length of apprentice-ship is three to four years, depending on the craft.

New apprentices are sometimes enrolled in pre-jobtraining in their selected trowel trade before going towork for a contractor. Pre-Job training is 640 hours ofhands-on experience in work-like situations combinedwith classroom work. This prepares new apprenticesto be productive and earn their wage from the first dayon the job.

SPECIALTY TRAININGTrowel trades workers may continue to add to theirskills throughout their careers. Advances and cross-craft training opportunities are provided to expand aworker’s craft skills, leading to greater work opportu-

nities. Such programs can be geared for apprentices,for journeyworkers or for both. They may be institut-ed to provide for long term career growth or they maybe set up to respond to very specific local marketneeds. Those journeyworkers who choose to becomefull or part-time craft instructors must enroll in theIMI Instructor Certificate Program, a 200-hour teachertraining program that counts toward college creditand can lead to a Bachelor’s Degree.

DESCRIPTIONWhat is it like to work as an electrician? You can

have a specialty as a Lineman, an Inside Wireman, anInstaller/Technician, or a Residential Wireman. Jour-neyman Lineman erect and maintain power lines,climb power poles, and work on communication lines.It’s highly skilled work that requires a great deal ofconcentration, skill and knowledge. Demand for thistype of work will never go "out of style"… as long asfolks use electricity. Journeyman Wireman wire theindustrial plants and factories, the warehouses, theoffice buildings, the shopping centers small andlarge… when something goes wrong with the electri-cal system in such facilities, journeyman wiremenare the ones who are called. Residential Wireman areresponsible for the repair and upgrade work in resi-dential structures. With 90 million single-familyhomes in the U.S., demand just for the repair/upgradework will never cease. What’s more, as more and morepeople buy computers, and buy items with electroniccomponents that are sensitive to electric power quali-ty, there’s more need for the Residential Wireman’sskills. Telecommunications -Installer/Technician areresponsible for the wiring that makes the Internetand e-commerce possible. Communication industriesrely on something installed everyday by our industry:wires and cables. When building owners and tenantshave network wiring problems, they need a profes-sional telecom installer/technician and he or she be-comes the most important person in the building! Asa telecom tech working for one of our industry’s con-tractors, that person would be you.

SPECIALTY TRAININGCompletion of apprenticeship doesn’t mean the end

of education. The NJATC offers many classes and op-portunities for journeymen to improve and add totheir skills and knowledge. Graduating apprentices

are able to obtain college credit for their apprentice-ship and have the opportunity to pursue Bachelor orAssociate degree programs. Instructors are able topursue professional education training at the National Training Institute (NTI), which is co-sponsored bythe NJATC and the University of Tennessee.

APPRENTICESHIPEach of the four types of electrical work (Inside

Wireman, Outside Lineman, Installer Technician andResidential Wireman) share common skills andknowledge. Each also has other skills and knowledge,which are specific to that particular area of work. Be-cause of these differences, each type of work has a dif-ferent apprenticeship program associated with it. Ap-prentices receive their training through the NationalJoint Apprenticeship and Training Committee ofNECA and IBEW. It's a model education partnershipwhich produces the best-trained, most up-to-date elec-trical apprentices and journeymen in the country. Inaddition to receiving skill training on the job, our ap-prentices are provided trade related classroom train-ing that produces competency and pride which lead totrue craftsmanship. Quite often some local trainingcommittees provide special classes with hands-ontraining to support classroom lectures and discus-sions.

IRON WORKERS

APPRENTICESHIPThe Iron Workers Apprenticeship Program gen-

erally takes three to four years to complete. It con-sists of on-the-job training and 144 hours of relat-ed classroom instruction per year. Apprentices re-ceive training in all segments of the industry, in-cluding blueprint reading, welding, flame cutting,plasma arc welding and cutting, rigging, use ofhand and power tools, OSHA Construction SafetyRegulations, rebar, fabrication, caulking andstructural steel, First Aid/CPR, and the use ofprecise plumbing and leveling instruments. Thetraining is comprised of "hands-on" activities,demonstrations by equipment suppliers, andclassroom lectures.

DESCRIPTIONPeople often confuse iron workers with steel-

workers. Ironworkers erect the steel that is milledby a steel worker. Iron workers assemble and erectsteel framework and other metal parts in build-ings, on bridges, dams and other steel structures.They raise, place and join steel girders andcolumns to form structural frameworks, includ-ing welding of metal decking. When you drive bya building that looks like a skeleton waiting for itsskin, that is the work done by Ironworkers. There are many classifications of work as an

Ironworkers. For example, you can be a welder, arodman, a finisher, a sheeter, structural ironwork-er worker, or a rigger. Ironworkers generally workin all conditions and in all types of weather. Theyoften work at great heights and in confined spaces.Iron workers find this variety appealing and arepleased at the end of the day when they can seethe results of their work.

SPECIALTY TRAININGAdvanced technology, changing regulations, in-

creased productivity demand and diversity aresome of the issues our training programs address.Journeyworkers can take advanced courses in ar-eas such as welding, lead hazard, blueprint read-ing, and O.S.H.A.

LABORERS’ INTERNATIONAL

DESCRIPTIONConstruction Craft Laborers perform a variety of

highly specialized tasks that include: electric andpneumatic drills, electric and hydralic boring ma-chines, setting explosives for heavy construction, us-ing laser guidance equipment for pipe placement, andutilizing surveying and measuring devices. As con-struction becomes increasingly computerized, con-struction laborers also control high-tech input devis-es like GPS and robotic pipe cutters. Construction la-borers work jointly carrying out assigned construc-tion tasks or may work alone, reading and interpret-ing blueprints and specifications with little or no su-pervision.Building construction requires construction labor-

ers to prepare and place foundational footings. Addi-tionally, they erect a majority of scaffolding used toperform vital building tasks. Construction laborershandle operate machines; for example, they mix mor-tar or operate a machine that pumps concrete, groutor cement. At hazardous waste sites, construction la-borers prepare the site and safely remove asbestos,lead mold, and other hazardous materials. Construc-tion laborers operate, read, and maintain air monitor-ing and other sampling devices.At heavy and highway construction sites, construc-

tion laborers place and slope concrete and asphalt onroadways, and install sewer, water, and storm drainpipes. To prepare highway work zones, constructionlaborers control passing traffic and install barricades,cones, and markers.At pipeline or transmission construction sites, con-

struction laborers clear the right-of-way, install engi-neered erosion control products, rigging, sandblast-ing, coating, and cathodic protection. Also, at gas dis-tribution construction sites, construction laborers lo-cate underground utilities, operform pipe fusing, resi-dential and commercial meter installations, trafficcontrol, and project restoration.

APPRENTICESHIPThe purpose of the apprenticeship program is devel-

op a qualified, versatile, and safe construction labor-er. Contractors must have a skilled and safe workforceto produce a quality project at a competitive price forproject owners. The apprenticeship program consists

of 4,000 hours of on-the-job experience and a mini-mum of 432 hours of classroom related training beforegraduating as a Journeyperson. As an apprentice, youwill be employed by a signatory contractor who willpay you an appropriate wage and benefit package, andyou’ll be working side-by-side with a qualified Jour-neyperson.

• Age Requirement 18 years old• Proof of H.S. Completion or GED• Driver License or Photo ID• Must pass written exam• Must pass oral interview• Must pass drug screen• Applications will be accepted as needed

SPECIALTY TRAININGLike any industry, construction continues to evolve

and change. Work opportunities that were once plenti-ful may decrease over time, while jobs we hadn’tdreamed of may suddenly be in high demand. That isthe power of training, no matter how much construc-tion changes LIUNA training makes sure our work-force stays ahead of the curve. The power of specialtytraining can also build a recession-proof career for la-borers. From accredited curriculum to instructor cer-tification, our training center has the programs andservices to meet the needs of laborers, union contrac-tors and the industry. Additionally, our partnershipwith the Cuyahoga Community College enable a labor-er to reach three benchmarks: Journeyperson Labor-er, a Certificate of Proficiency from Tri-C, and an As-sociate Degree in Construction Technologies.

tionwide requiring training efforts that would allowworkers to fill those positions.To address the need, President Barack Obama an-

nounced a goal of doubling the number of apprentice-ships within a five-yearspan to meet the demandexpected by 2020.Crane said workers are

needed locally for a varietyof jobs ranging from majorroofing projects to plantconstruction to renovationefforts. However, to do thejobs, workers need theskills, Crane said. For example, developer Bill Siderewicz, Clean Ener-

gy Future president, expects construction of the new$900 million Lordstown Energy Center being built atthe Lordstown Industrial Park along Henn Parkway torequire more than 400 local building and trades work-ers in the next two years.

Crane said the new Lordstown plant is one of sever-al projects area building and trades leaders are excitedabout. “Once the funding for that project was finalized,

they put us on alert to makesure there would be enoughworkers ready to get startedon it and finish it,” Cranesaid. Workers are needed for

road and new highway con-struction, including a newOhio Turnpike project andwidening of Interstate 80,completion of the retooling

project at the General Motors Assembly Plant also inLordstown, which is expected to be extended into thenext year, new commercial construction projects inBoardman and Howland, specifically near the EastwoodMall, student housing work at Youngstown State Uni-versity, the Youngstown Business Incubator expansion

“There's definitely a need for appren-ticeships. The opportunities are here forpeople wanting to pursue them.”

and conversion of the downtown Youngstown Stam-baugh Building into a new hotel, among others. Also,it appears everything is on track in Columbiana Coun-ty for the new power plant in WellsvilleCrane said apprentices being trained now will be

able to help with some of these projects. Roland “Butch” Taylor, business manager of

Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 396, said apprentice-ships are one of the “best-kept secrets” when it comesto training or educational opportunities.“Apprenticeships provide opportunities to build

skills that help build careers,” Taylor said. There are more than 1,100 registered apprenticeship

programs in the state, according to the Ohio Depart-ment of Job and Family Services. They provide trainingin a variety of areas including aerospace, construction,energy, health care, manufacturing and utilities.Each program includes, at minimum, 2,000 hours of

structured on-the-job training and 144 hours per yearof related technical instruction. Typically, an appren-ticeship can last four or five years, depending on thecraft, after which the worker becomes a journeyman.Workers interested in pursuing a skilled trade must

meet a series of qualifications to be admitted into an ap-prenticeship program. Criteria varies from program toprogram, but generally, most require an application,high school diploma or GED, an interview, aptitude testand physical with a drug screening. Programs also varydepending on the trade.

ApprenticeshipThrough apprenticeship programs, new entrantsto the industry receive supervised training on thejob and related theoretical instruction under thetutelage of master craftworkers who are membersof the building trades unions. Apprentices are em-ployed and receive wages while training on-the-job, and the cost of the related instruction is paidfor by the sponsoring JATC. This "earn while youlearn" feature of apprenticeship makes it afford-able for all.

Minimum qualifications, application and selectionprocedures, training content, wage progressionsand completion requirements are determined bythe apprenticeship programs of each affiliatedunion. All programs encourage women and minori-ties to apply.

The apprenticeship programs of the building andconstruction unions operate under standards reg-istered and certified by the Employment & Train-ing Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, orby a state apprenticeship agency.

College CreditAn innovation in the apprenticeship programs ofthe building trades combines apprenticeship withcollege study. In some programs, apprentices are"dually enrolled" in the apprenticeship programand in a college degree program. These programsrecognize the achievement of those who success-fully complete their apprenticeship and offer par-ticipating apprentices expanded career options.One such program is through the National LaborCollege, which offers apprentices an opportunityto receive college credit for their related instructionand on-the-job training, and simultaneously worktoward a Bachelor of Technical Studies.

Journeyworker TrainingIn the building and construction trades unions,training opportunities do not end upon completionof apprenticeship. All building trades unions andJATCs offer free skill improvement and skill up-grading to ensure their members have access tocontinuous learning opportunities. These pro-grams are designed to broaden, diversify and up-date the skills of union members.

Safety and Health TrainingAs part of their skills training, building trades mem-bers learn safety on the job. Safety and Healthcourses help members better handle the hazardsof construction sites and stay safe. These coursesare available to apprentices and journey-levelmembers.

School-To-WorkMany of the unions have also worked with areaschools to create school-to-work programs. Thesesuccessful programs have improved industryawareness among students and counselors, andhave assisted students in their preparation for acareer in the building trades.

BCTD Apprenticeship and TrainingThe unions affiliated with the Building and Construction Trades Department provide the highest qualityapprentice and journeyworker training anywhere in the world. The apprenticeship and training programsof the building trades unions are administered by local joint apprenticeship and training committees(JATCs), made up of representatives from the local union and from industry employers. These localtraining trust funds spend over $500,000 million annually on training and operate over 2,000 trainingcenters across North America. More than 180,000 apprentices and tens of thousands of journey-levelworkers receive quality training each year at these state-of-the-art facilities.

DESCRIPTIONAcross America and Canada, the Operating Engi-

neers build, maintain, and service places where welive, work, worship, study and play. Operating Engi-

neers maintain controlcenters, boiler rooms,and HVAC units for oursafety, comfort, and well-being, and their skills areput to the task every day.Hoisting and Portable

Operating Engineerswork on high ise build-ings, operating construc-tion cranes, as well as in

deep excavations with earth moving equipment. Theyturn lines on paper into skylines and roadways acrossthe USA and Canada. Contractors look to the Operat-ing Engineers and its 400,000 members, for theirskills, safety, and proficiency. The Operating Engineerhas the respect and control to build the foundations ofthe world. There is not a better feeling than physical-ly seeing the fruits of your labor, and that’s the feel-ing you get from being an Operating Engineer.SPECIALTY TRAININGAll through the appren-

ticeship program, appren-tices, as well as journey-persons, have the oppor-tunity to upgrade theirskills. New laws requiringcertifications, such as:fork lift certification,crane certification, HAZ-MAT certification, refrig-erant recovery, and all li-cense requirements areoffered through the train-ing departments andJoint Apprenticeship andTraining (JATC) pro-grams.APPRENTICESHIPEach of the trades (sta-

tionary or hoisting andportable engineer) uses

an apprenticeship system. Hours and course descrip-tion vary between the two classifications, but bothhave one common goal: to make the Operating Engi-neer apprentice the most knowledgable about his/hercraft. The National Joint Apprenticeship TrainingCommittees have seen the need to update and stream-line programs that include training both in the fieldand practical hands-on training at dedicated trainingfacilities. With new innovations being introducedevery day, these programs are constantly retooling tomake their apprentices smarter, safer, and more pro-ductive, to ready them for today’s contractors. Com-petitive starting wages and progressive wage increas-es enhance the Operating Engineer apprenticeshipprograms and add to the apprenticeship goal of “earnwhile you learn.”

What is an apprenticeship? An apprenticeship is a training program the pro-duces highly skilled workers by combining on-the-job training with related classroom instruction.There are currently 37,000 registered apprentice-ship programs in the United States. (In order for anapprenticeship program to be registered with theDepartment of Labor, it must meet the criteria out-lined under Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations,Part 29.5. The Office of Apprenticeship Training,Employer and Labor Services (OATELS) divisionof the Department of Labor oversees this process.)

Who sponsors and pays for apprenticeship pro-grams?Apprenticeship programs are operated by both pri-vate and public sponsors. Financing for labor-man-agement apprenticeship programs is negotiated ona local level, and is guaranteed in the collectivebargaining agreement. These funds are then ad-ministered by an Apprenticeship Trust Fund Com-mittee, and are then allocated to the Joint Appren-ticeship Training Committee (JATC); both are com-prised of labor and management representatives.The Trust Fund Committee ensures that moniesare spent properly and that apprenticeshipprogress will meet the OATELS standards. Appren-tices in these labor/management-sponsored pro-grams incur no costs for their training – they earnwhile they learn.

What is unique about labor-management spon-sored apprenticeship programs? Apprentices in labor-management sponsored pro-grams are taking part in employee/employer runprograms. Both the contractor and the union investin the apprenticeship program together. The pro-grams are free to would be apprentices. Our ap-prentices also receive safety training, which oftenexceeds even OSHA recommendations. Many pri-vate employer-run non-union apprenticeship pro-grams do not mandate safety training for their ap-prentices. Our apprenticeship programs mandate144 hours of classroom instruction. Our appren-tices are taught in a classroom setting on the ba-sics of the skill.

How many apprenticesare trained annually? In 2000, there were 360,511 registered appren-tices1. Approximately 55% of these apprentices

were enrolled in union building trades apprentice-ship programs. The Associated Builders and Con-tractors trains only 15,000 apprentices each year,which equals about 4.1 of the total U.S. apprenticepopulation2

What are the qualifications of our apprenticeshipinstructors? Instructors generally have many years of experi-ence as journeymen or women in the constructionindustry. In many joint labor-management run pro-grams, instructors must be certified and/or have at-tended instructor training classes sponsored by theJATC and training trust fund or the InternationalUnions. These programs provide instructors withthe very best methods of teaching apprentices aswell as providing the necessary information fornew technologies in the industry. Apprenticeshipinstructors also ensure that the mentoring processis employed on the construction job sites so the ap-prentices safely learn the necessary skills of his orher craft under the supervision of experienced jour-neypersons.

What about changing technology? Labor-management apprenticeship programs areconstantly offering new courses to past and currentapprentices and modify their curricula to keep pacewith changing technology. Changes in technologyalso force our apprenticeship programs to updatetheir training programs on a continual basis.
