Industry Technology can change overnight. As Union Carpenters, Millwrights, Floorlayers and Cabinet-Shop/Specialty Workers we have an obligation to provide the skills demanded by the construcion industry and we must be committed to providing those skills. We can only honor that commitment by making sure we offer the training and upgrading to ensure our members can maintain the level that makes them the most productive workers in the construction industry.

With the exception of theory classes (no hands-on shop) all participants are required to wear work clothes and work shoes or boots. Class participants are not permitted to wear cut-offs, tank tops, shorts, sweat pants, sneakers or walking shoes. Individuals who show up for class without the proper clothing will not be permitted to start class.

Participants attending classes that require hands-on shop participation will be expected to have the proper tools. If you do receive a list of specific tolls to bring with your class notification, it is mandatory that you at least bring basic tools the first night of class. The instructor will then notify you or give you a list of any other tools that are reuired. Power and specialized tools will be available at the center.

There will no longer be any fees required to attend J Level skill enhancement course, however, certain rules and procedures must be followed in order for the Carpenters Training Funds to be able to efficiently notify, schedule and credit the completed classes. If a participant fails to follow the established procedures they may be excluded from registering for classes in the future.

The following proccedures must be followed:
  If a participant receives a notice of a class they have been scheduled for, the MUST reply regarding attendance.
  If a participant notifies the fund they will attend a scheduled class, the MUST attend the class.
  If a participant starts a class, the MUST complete the class.

The decision to exclude individuals from registering for future classes will not be decided arbitrarily. Each situation will be reviewed and discussed, at length, prior to making any decision.
