The rewards of apprenticeship training in the floor covering industry are the good wages and benefits you receive as a skilled craftsperson. Floor coverers belong to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, the largest building trades union in North America. You'll be working with good employers under the protection of a union contract, probably with health insurance and pension and welfare benefits. In the long run, it pays to be the best you can be - and apprentice trained floorlayer.
