Union apprenticeships are where 1,500 entry level carpenters are trained in the classroom and on-the-job to work safely and hone their skills. Our apprentices are the future of the industry and we are proud of the local and diverse opportunity they represent.
Outside of apprenticeship recruitments, access to apprenticeships may also be obtained through pre-apprenticeship and direct entry programs that offer preparatory and career referral services to low income New Yorkers, public high school students, women, and veterans in the New York City metropolitan area.
Housed at the NYC Carpenters Training Center, Building Works recruits and prepares low-income residents for direct entry into union apprenticeships.
