What it Takes

The sheet metal trade isn't easy — but that's what makes it worth it.

The Local 1 Apprenticeship Program is built for people who want more than just a paycheck. It takes focus, grit and pride in doing it right — all while learning real skills and building a career that lasts.

If you'd rather build, weld, install and fix things than sit behind a desk all day, you're already on the right track!
