APPRENTICE PROGRAM

Official Recognition:

On July 6, 1994, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training approved Laborers AGC’s National Apprenticeship Standards for the Construction Craft Laborers.

The Laborers’ District Council of Eastern PA applied and was approved for the first Laborers’ Apprenticeship Program from the Pennsylvania Apprenticeship and Training Council on May 11, 1995. This is important because the laborer occupation was not considered to be an apprenticeable craft.

To apply for the Laborers’ Apprentice Program, you are required to come to the hall in person and fill out an application. You are required to have a valid Pennsylvania driver’s license in order to be considered for testing. The Laborers’ Training Fund will notify you of the scheduled testing. Once you complete and pass the test, you will be entitled to 8 weeks of construction training at no cost to you.
