The week of March 5th was Women in Construction week and it featured International Women's Day. It presented us with the opportunities to highlight all the initiatives and work of women in the industry, promote the opportunities that are available to women in construction, celebrate women's achievements, recognize challenges, and focus greater attention on women's rights.

The Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Apprenticeship Training Center welcomes interested parties to tour our training facility, learn about our apprenticeship program and its respective career opportunities, and get hands-on. Try craft basics such as cutting, setting, and grouting tile, or spreading mortar, applying a head joint, and laying brick to a line.
