Carpenters Local 210 apprentices must report to our training center three weeks each year for related instruction such as advanced math, measuring, and blueprint reading. Classroom training also involves a lot of hands-on projects. Instead of having our apprentices build and tear down structures, we try to help our community by having apprentices learn while working in our neighborhoods. In the past, we have helped such groups as the United Way, Habitat for Humanity, the Special Olympics, AmeriCares, and many others. Apprenticeship typically takes between 2-4 years to complete, depending upon prior experience.
Apprentices receive regular promotions and wage raises.
Upon completion, apprentices receive Journeyman diplomas from both the State of Connecticut and the International Brotherhood of Carpenters. However, even after graduation, Local 210 carpenters are provided with skills upgrading .
