Iowa Laborers' Education and Training Fund knows Training helps employers compete with higher productivity and quality, which in turn helps workers earn more and have more opportunities therefor it is essential Apprentices take as much training as possible to become qualified professional construction workers. Local 177 Journeymen and women set examples off the job site as well by attending classes to remain current in all forms of their training as well as taking any new classes available that are essential for keeping up with the changing times and technology of construction.
To become an apprentice, an individual must be 18 years of age and have earned a high school degree or its equivalency. Apprentices also have the option of achieving a high school degree or equivalency while enrolled in the CCL program.
Career skills are gained two ways: the first is through related instruction that combines classroom and job simulated, hands-on training; the second is on-the-job learning, where CCL apprentices “earn while they learn.”
In the Construction Craft Laborer Apprenticeship Program, an apprentice must complete 4,000 hours of on-the-job learning and successfully complete a minimum of 300 hours of related instruction in order to graduate. While many apprentices complete the requirements in two years, it may take longer depending upon availability of work.
Upon graduation the apprentice joins the rank of journey-persons and begins a career as a skilled CCL. As a member of LIUNA training never ends as life-long learning opportunities are available year-round to meet the challenges in one of the most diverse and rewarding industries.
