Apprenticeships

The Labourers’ International Union of North America, Local 837 has developed and established a Local Apprenticeship Committee {LAC}. The LAC governs the Apprentice programs and Training programs in conjunction with the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities, Apprenticeship Office.

The Union has developed a new trade, which is known as the Construction Craft Worker. This is formal recognition and training for the highly specialized workers who are Labourers in construction. The area of concentration is the heavy civil and ICI sectors of the industry. This new trade is recognized as a Red Seal Trade.  

The Local Apprenticeship Committee governs this new trade and the existing trade of Concrete Finisher and all training for these two highly respected trades takes place at the E. H. Mancinelli Training Centre. The benefits for membership are many: a vehicle to attain those skills in demand in the construction industry, and a process for certification to be recognized as a Skilled Worker, and the benefits both professionally and economically that this entails.
