The union holds an apprenticeship recruitment approximately every 5 years. A candidate must obtain an application during a designated time frame which are handed out on a first come, first serve basis. Once the application is completed and submitted, applicants are given an interview date. The highest scoring interviewees will then be offered an opportunity to take a NYS Aptitude Test, with the top scoring individuals being placed on an official NYS DOL rank list. The Board of Trustees determines the need for apprentices each year and calls applicants in rank list order.
The open recruitment application dates will be posted on the New York State Department of Labor’s website under “Jobs and Careers -> Apprenticeships -> View Recruitments.”
