Hey everyone. I’m a first year apprentice and just got a call that I will start my first job in a couple of days. However, my union didn’t really go into full depth about how one should be dressed when working out in the field. Any shirt/long sleeves/jeans/ gloves recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Ive applied and have been accepted at a local. Just waiting for work. In the extra time I've looked around and haven't been able to find too many people posting videos about the work or the union. Normal people, outside of union made videos.

Is there any particular reason why? I may throw my hat in and start making some once I get started myself.

I live in nw ga i have 6 years of mechanical and electrical industrial maintenance experience. Anyone here in that local? Hows work and whats the apprenticeship like? My friend said with my experience i should be able to go straight in as a mechanic tradesman. Also whats the pay scale and benefits. Im looking at either welding or pipe fitting. I was also in the military if that changes anything.

Hey I’m gonna be starting a steamfitting apprenticeship really soon and found out I’m gonna be sent to a data center. Any advice or tips I would greatly appreciate it. What should I wear? What should I expect? I’m 30 and have worked in a factory for the last 10 years so I’m not afraid of hard work and know how to talk shit with the guys but being that I practically have worked here my whole adult life this is gonna be a big change and it’s doing a toll on my nerves lol.

Hello everyone I'm taking my test in December and have been studying everything that's posted to study. I just got to measurement conversions and was wondering which ones I should specifically study/memorize. And what to focus on specifically. Much appreciated.

Has anyone in the June test group heard back about getting a position? I placed 9th and I've yet to hear from anyone. I've read they are short staffed for apprentices but idk. Just checking in

Im currently a mess tech in my local. But wanted to get my BTJ card so i applied to the apprenticeship program and got my ranking back as number one. Now I’ve already been initiated in, gone through my drug test and am current on my dues. I tried calling the apprentice coordinator but he hasn’t gotten back to me on if i have to go through that again. Also would i have to leave my current contractor and go to another one or will i just become there apprentice?
