Apprenticeship - What is it?
The Sheet Metal Workers Local Union 54
Apprenticeship & Training Program is a Joint
Labor-Management apprenticeship program that offers related
classroom instruction and on-the-job training. This means
you “earn while you learn”. Our industry is in need of young
men and women with the aptitude to listen and learn to
become a skilled sheet metal worker.
Our program selects apprentices based on qualifications
without regard to sex, race or ethnicity, creed or nation of
origin.
Our training facility has gone through a stringent audit and
review by the International Training Institute. Having
complied to accreditation standards, in thirteen (13)
categories we were awarded with a gold level of
accreditation.
We are also an American Welding Society Accredited Test
Facility. This allows us to administer welding performance
tests and to provide Certifications to the welder who has
met all of the requirements for a specific certification.
Our program has been registered with the State of Texas,
Department of Labor/Office of Apprenticeship since 1947. We
also have a working relationship with the Beaumont
Independent School District.
Apprenticeship - How it works?
Usually applicants are put to work as
pre-apprentices. This gives the person a chance to work in
the trade to see what sheet metal workers do. In this
position the applicant works a full time job but does not
attend school classes. Many people do not know what type of
work we do, the pre-apprentice position gives them the
opportunity to see what we do in our trade.
Pre-apprentices must meet the same qualifications as an
apprentice. (See the qualification sheet and application.)
As new apprentices are needed they are selected from the
existing pre-apprentices. Once you are selected for the
apprenticeship program you will start attending evening
classes two (2) nights a week. After four (4) years the
individual graduates and becomes a journeyman. Advancement
is not automatic, each year students are tested in general
knowledge of the trade as well as actual hands on projects.
