The Local 28 Sheet MetalWorkers Apprenticeship Program is looking for qualified
applicants for our 5-year learn-to-earn program preparing you for a career in the Sheet Metal
Industry. Applicants must be at least 17 years of age and drug free. If selected, you will be required to
pass a TABE Math exam and a drug screening in order to enter the Apprenticeship Program.
Local 28 Sheet Metal Apprentices work full-time for a union contractor that pays them to
attend classes throughout the year. Graduates may also receive college credit from select accredited
institutions of higher learning.
Successful applicants will begin the program as Pre-Apprentices, in which they will attend a mandatory
four weeks of school during which time they will receive a small stipend. After six months to a year of
working with a Contractor and earning a salary, successful Pre-Apprentices will become indentured as
an Apprentice, assigned to a Union Contractor and enjoy the full benefits of union membership.
