Apprenticeships with UBC

Becoming an apprentice is a great way to learn while making a living.

An apprentice is someone who is learning a trade while working under the guidance of skilled workers called journeymen. Apprenticeship is on-the-job training.

  • Earn while you learn
  • Start at about 50% of a skilled journeyman's rate of pay
  • Wages are increased at periodic intervals until they are 90% to 95% of a journeyman's wages

As a member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America you will be working under the protection of a union contract.

The benefits to you will be working for a good contractor which means:

  • Good Wages
  • Health Insurance
  • Pension
  • Continuing Skill Training
