Spring Brick/PCC Pre-Apprenticeship Complete!

Six weeks ago, this group walked through our doors with little to no experience in bricklaying or PCC work. Today, they leave with new skills, new confidence, and the foundation for a career in the union trades. 

Our pre-apprenticeship program is no small commitment. These students gave up six weeks of their time, unpaid, to show up every day ready to learn the basics of our craft. They mixed mortar, laid brick, learned safety, practiced teamwork, and pushed themselves through long days in the shop. What started as curiosity and determination has grown into real, usable skills that will serve them as new apprentices on jobsites across our industry.

This has been an incredibly strong group, and we’re proud of the work they’ve put in. Just under half have already secured employment with signatory contractors. While it’s been a slower start to the season, we’re hopeful the rest will be joining contractors soon as opportunities continue to open up.

These students are the next generation of our trade, and we’re proud to send them out into the field this summer. Congratulations to all of you on completing the program. We hope to see you back in the fall and winter for related training.
