The building trades unions, including the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, have chosen Registered Apprenticeship as the means for training new members entering the trade.  The training fund’s apprenticeship program is registered with the Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship.  In addition, the training fund offers Journeyman Upgrade training for union members.  There is a strong emphasis on safety training for both apprentices and journeymen.  The training fund’s goal is to provide UBC members with the training they need to be safe, productive and successful.

The Executive Director is responsible for the day to day operation of the training fund, under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Experience working in the field as a carpenter, millwright, foreman, or superintendent is preferred, as well as experience as an instructor.  Since our job is to train union members, union membership, understanding how the union works and the benefits of membership would also be helpful.
