BAC Locals Celebrate National Apprenticeship Week

2022 Issue 1
News in Brief

For decades, the BAC apprenticeship program has been playing an important role in providing quality training with opportunities to earn good incomes and benefits for workers looking to re-enter the workforce and young people seeking to enter the workforce. In celebrating the National Apprenticeship Week on November 14–20, 2021, BAC Locals made visits to schools, participated in job fairs, and held open houses for future apprentices.

During the National Apprenticeship Week, representatives of Local 1 Pennsylvania/Delaware visited the Williamson College of the Trades in Media, PA to have conversations with students about the apprenticeship program. Administrative District Council 1 of Illinois and District Council of Wisconsin opened their training floors to those who are interested in pursuing a BAC career. Members of Local 1 MD/VA/DC joined in the East of the River “Jobs Not Guns” recruitment fair to support local communities and provide job opportunities for all.
