Better Than College? You Decide.

Big Skills, Bigger Opportunities

 

Students can complete their union apprenticeship to become a sheet metal worker in just five years — and get paid while they learn. Once they earn journeyman status, they’ll have the opportunity to make more money than many college grads, receive excellent benefits and be able to find a rewarding job anywhere.
