The Construction Craft Laborer Apprenticeship Program accepts applications year round for Apprentices. We do formal interviews twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. Apprentices are required to attend 100 hours of classroom training per year for a total of 300 hours. Apprentices will receive wage increases every 1334 hours of work, provided they have also completed thier classroom requirements. They are also required to work 4000 hours. First year apprentices receive 75% of Journeyman wages. Second year apprentices receive 85% and Third year receive 90% of Journeymans wages. Training is offered free of charge to our Apprentices and there are numerous training opportunities each year in a multitude of classes. Construction Craft Laborer Apprentices must be members in good standing with Laborers Local 1686 and maintain their membership throughout their apprenticeship. Please pick up an application at the nearest Laborers Local 1686 office or the local Job Service office. Women and Minorities are encouraged to apply.

Nature of Work

Today’s Construction Craft laborer is a person of many talents, able to work on a variety of construction and environmental projects. Physical ability plays a major role in this profession. Laborers’ work runs the gamut from pick and shovel to computers and lasers. The ability to perform a variety of jobs on a single site is vital to success. 

Entrance Requirements

Working Conditions:

 A Laborers work is highly active and very strenuous. Laborers work in all weather and under all conditions, from underground to high in the air.  The work is seasonal.  Laborers may also be exposed to physically dangerous jobs and hazardous materials.
