Calling all future carpenters
in central Iowa!
On April 2nd the
all-new Carpenter’s Union Training Center opened its doors. The new
location is 1555 1st Avenue North in Altoona, IA. The building
includes the training center, Carpenters Local 106 meeting space and offices
for Council staff.
So, if you’re at least 18 years old and have a high school
Diploma, GED, or high school transcripts, then you can train as a Carpenters’
Apprentice. Whether you have some experience or no experience, you are
encouraged to apply. Apprentices learn their trade both in the classroom and on
the job, all the while, earning a graduated wage and receiving the same great
benefits of a journey-level Carpenter. The phrase “earn while you learn” really
does apply.
Carpenter apprentices work right beside Jouneypersons on the
job, then go to class on a regular schedule to complete their training. If you
like the thought of starting your career, working on a jobsite with your hands,
learning a trade, and experiencing different conditions, then contact them
today at 515-262-8079. The
Carpenters Apprenticeship program is open for anyone to apply.
Apprentices earn at least 60% of the Journeyman wage scale, and receive 100% of
the healthcare and retirement benefits available. Carpenters Union Local 106
members earn top industry wages while practicing a career that you can raise a
family on. For more information check out their website. https://www.carpenters106.org/
This is a great opportunity for students who are looking to train in a career field that has lots of potential for the future. To learn about other career training opportunities visit www.icansucceed.org/careertraining.
