The difference between a union carpenter
and a non-union worker is training. That
is why the NJ Carpenters Apprentice
Training & Education Fund invests in
their members. Every Union Carpenter
Apprentice is enrolled in a 4-year,
college accredited, apprentice program
at the onset of their career. Through
hands-on training and classroom
instruction taught by certified
Instructors, this program is unrivaled
in the construction industry.
Recognized by the US Department of Labor
and Workforce Development, the program
takes place in three state-of-art
facilities in New Jersey (mouse over the
bullets on map on the right). Each carpenter
apprentice completes 880 curriculum
hours to earn the classification of
Journeyman Carpenter. Combined with
8,000 hours of on-the-job-training (OJT),
Union Carpenters learn how to increase
productivity, reduce liability and
create cost efficiencies for all
construction projects.

This college accreditation was
established through a partnership with NJ Place
and the NJ Council of Community Colleges. Now,
Union Carpenters have the ability to earn 25
college credits toward an associates degree at
any NJ Community College upon graduation of the
apprentice program.
