LEARN A LIVING THROUGH APPRENTICESHIP APPRENTICESHIPS IN: Carpentry, Electricians and Installer Technicians, Electricians and Installer Technicians, Construction Trades, Plumbing and Steamfitting A Career in the Carpentry Trade Take a look around. Now consider this; every building you see needed a team of skilled carpenters to complete it; even the furniture in our homes is crafted by someone who has training in the carpentry trade. Carpentry is a multi-faceted specialty in the construction industry. Carpentry skills are used in milling, fastening, joining, assembling, erecting and dismantling structural and architectural materials, and these are just some of the responsibilities a good carpenter will handle during a day's work. Additionally, carpenters use a wide array of hand tools, power tools and precision instruments every day. While many carpenters are employed on new construction sites, others earn their living doing remodeling or structural alteration work. As you can see, carpentry is a wide-open field with many job opportunities and the chance to increase your take-home pay as your craft skills grow. But even more importantly, since carpenters are generally familiar with the entire construction process, they are regularly presented with opportunities to be promoted to construction foremen and superintendents. The Carpenters Union Apprenticeship program is a four-year program, combining full-time employment and on-the-job training with evening classroom instruction. During an average year, each apprentice logs 2,000 hours of paid work experience in the field with a minimum of 150 hours of classroom instruction. At the end of four years, an apprentice graduates from the program as a Journeyman Carpenter. Journeymen Papers are then issued by the State of Maryland and the graduate is qualified to work anywhere in the country for top dollar. Completion of this program also earns the Journeyman college credit toward an Associate of Arts Degree from The Community College of Baltimore County...all at no cost to the Apprentice! So go ahead, make the decision now - choose a lucrative and stable future as a carpenter, and start on the road to earning excellent wages and benefits for you and your family! Give Kevin Donohue a call at 410-737-9670 or go to www.mactc.net to find out how to apply to the Baltimore Carpenters JAC Apprenticeship program. Electricians and Installer Technicians Sometimes we take for granted that the lights come on when we hit the switch, or that we can enjoy a couple hours of Play Station 2 when we need to chill. Whether it's sitting at home watching a game, going to a movie, or spending time on the computer, we rely on electricity so that we can take advantage of our modern conveniences, and it is the electrician and the installer technician who guarantee that our modern conveniences are running smoothly. Electricians wire buildings with either concealed or exposed wiring. When the wiring installations are completed, they check them out, test them and thoroughly see that they are safe and installed properly according to National Electric Code standards. An Installer Technician works with voice data and video systems including fire alarm, security alarms, computer, and telephone. They make it possible for you to log onto a computer at night, and start that coffee pot in the morning. Both careers will guarantee you high income potential and stable employment. The first step in this career is to become an apprentice, and learn on the job site and in school. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 24 and the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) sponsor a four year Electrical Apprenticeship Training program here in the metro Baltimore area, with all of the training being conducted at their local training center is on Patapsco Avenue in Southwest Baltimore. IBEW/NECA trained Craftsmen and Apprentices perform installation and maintenance services for commercial office buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, manufacturing plants, schools and sporting facilities. Apprentices enjoy excellent hourly wages, a full health insurance plan, guaranteed pension benefits and career advancement opportunities. Through Local 24's program, Apprentices will build skills and an understanding of electricity through on-the-job training and evening classes. At the end of the four-year program, in addition to being awarded Journeymen Papers, graduates are also awarded up to 30 credits towards an A.A.S. Degree at The Community College of Baltimore County.
