Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
Q: How long after I apply will I have to wait hear back from the Union?
A: The paperwork is forwarded to the New York State Department of Labor and they set up a date for applicants to take a mandatory aptitude test. After the test is taken, the Union will call the potential candidates to set up an interview.
Q: What are the requirements for candidacy in the apprenticeship program?
A: An applicant must be at least 18 years of age, have a high school diploma or GED, a resume and three letters of reference.
Q: What are the requirements of an apprentice once he or she is admitted into the program?
A: An apprentice is required to attend mandatory training for four weeks on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays which is known as “pre-apprenticeship.” Once completed, the applicant becomes a registered apprentice and will be required to complete a four-year, 4100 hour program with 144 hours per year of related classroom instruction.
Q: Does an apprentice get paid while attending mandatory training/classroom activities?
A: No. An apprentice starts earning a wage when he/she is called out to jobs to work alongside Journeymen as a part of their “on the job training.”

There are several requirements to work on this site including a 40 hour Hazmat card, 6 hour defensive driving class and possibly a TWIC card (Transportation Worker Identification Credential). If you currently do not meet the above requirements, we cannot dispatch you to this project.
WE PLAN TO SCHEDULE NEW CLASSES FOR HAZMAT, OSHA AND DEFENSIVE DRIVING IN THE NEAR FUTURE. PLEASE CHECK BACK HERE FOR DATES.
In order to obtain a TWIC card, please go to www.tsa.gov/twic or call 1-866-347-8942. The cost is $132.50, payable by credit card, money order or certified check. The card is good for 5 years from issuance date.
