With all the talk lately on our website about how to join a Union, we thought we should take a quick moment to talk about how to get an apprenticeship in Ontario. The IUPAT focuses on the construction trades including residential and industrial painters, drywall finishers, glaziers, EIFS mechanics and stucco workers, asbestos removers and sign writers. All of these are in- demand fields.
If you watched The Russo Report on our YouTube channel, you will see a few videos featuring our very own Business Manager Joe Russo and Executive Director of the Ontario Industrial Finishing Skills Centre (OIFSC), Robert Bronk. Not only do they discuss the opportunities that are available at the tranining centres, but they also discuss how money can be earned during your training and grants that are available to help pay for schooling.
The best way to get started with an apprenticeship is to complete the contact form here on our website or contact us directly. We’d love to talk with you about your interests and hobbies to see how we can help turn those into a fruitful career!
