| Apprenticeship in Local 263 |
The
apprenticeship program for sheet metal workers combines on-the-job
training with classroom instruction, which takes place at state-of-the
art JATC owned facilities at 500 66th Ave SWin Cedar Rapids, Iowa
52404. The JATC program has its own computers, which allows the JATC to
deliver training, monitor progress, and communicate with other
apprenticeship programs through the International Training Institute
(ITI) home page. The apprenticeship program lasts four years, during which apprentices receive wages and benefits as well as top-of-the-line instruction at no cost! In the first and second year, apprentices learn about drafting, sheet metal tools, safety procedures, pattern layout and development as well as how mathematics applies to the trade. In the third year, apprentices work more on their own, and will learn how to install HVAC equipment, welding, hoisting and rigging, and retrofitting environmental systems. Finally, in the fourth year, apprentices learn about fine tuning HVAC systems and welding techniques. Of course, by the end of the fourth year apprentices attain journeyperson status! |
