Our members’ safety is at the forefront of our training, education and core mission. We constantly strive to ensure members’ well-being by updating and educating them on the latest safety measures and standards.
Empowering Careers Through Apprenticeships & Workforce Training
Apprenticeships – The industry requires successful completion of a four-year apprenticeship program and maintains its own full-time state-of-the-art school facility for this purpose located at 139-20 Jamaica Avenue, Jamaica, New York. This process gives our contractors access to the best-trained, specialized apprentices who, only after meeting rigorous standards, become full-fledged sheet metal journeypersons.
Continuing Education – An array of courses are offered to keep journeypersons abreast of new techniques and special skills to advance their careers.
