Sheet Metal Workers Local # 19 Apprenticeship Program (IN-PERSON APPLICATIONS ONLY as needed)
Sheet Metal Workers Local # 19 Apprenticeship program. The Training Program for Local 19 instructs apprentices in the skills they need to work in today’s construction industry. The types of jobs they are training for include heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC); sheet metal fabrication; and architectural metal installation, including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc. Safety and Health Training are major components of these programs.
The sheet metal industry needs highly skilled and motivated workers. Through courses offered at our training centers, you can get a high-quality education and training designed to give you a rewarding career. As an apprentice, you participate in both on-the-job training and classroom study, giving you practical experience while learning the technical aspects of the industry.
The programs take place in some of the most modern facilities for training, including the nationally recognized Testing, Adjusting and Balancing Lab; a Service Room that provides hands-on instruction on almost every type of HVAC equipment available; state-of-the-art Cleanrooms for the most advanced ventilation training possible; and a testing facility accredited by the International Training Institute (iTi) and the American Welding Society.
The program is comprehensive and requires time, commitment and attention. The courses apprentices take are demanding and require repetition, practice and professional instruction.
