  • Applications are available in-person Monday – Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. You can also apply anytime online (Click here). 
  • Online Skill Assessment is a required to component of the application.
  • ​All applicants are placed on the applicant list after they have completed the application process. Applicants will be sent to work in the order of ranking based on your score from the online skill assessment or when specific specialty skills are in demand.
  • Applicants will need reliable transportation.  Many jobs require  personal transportation to various job sites, including sites outside their hometown. 
  • Contractors may require a valid drivers license and proof of insurance as a condition of employment.
  • Depending on location some contractors may require a background check. If you cannot pass a background check you may still be eligible to be placed with an employer but it will limit where you can work.  
  • Due to COVID-19 several employers are asking that applicants be vaccinated or willing to get vaccinated. If you have a medical or religious exemption you will be required to provide documentation. If you are not interested in getting vaccinated that will not affect your chances of employment, it will only limit where you can gain employment.

​Apprenticeship Readiness Program

​To qualify for direct entry through an Apprenticeship Readiness Program, the candidate must have successfully completed the North American Building Trades Union (NABTU) Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3) 120-hour coursework. This course prepares individuals to get a jump start into construction trade apprenticeships and is conducted by a certified MC3 Instructor. Apprenticeship Readiness Programs are sponsored by the State and Local Building Trades Councils, Training Coordinators, Contractors, and JATCs in partnership with local community groups, workforce development boards and schools- both community colleges and secondary schools. Completion of this program will allow the candidate to enter the program with 6-month credit. The credit includes both OJT hours and Related Instruction hours. The applicant must meet all the same requirements necessary for regular entry into the apprenticeship program plus the MC3 completion certificate.
