An apprenticeship with Local #6 is a 3 1/2 year program that involves both on-the-job training and schooling. Pay starts at 50% of Journeyman scale plus full benefits (merit increases every 6 months). Most apprentices attend a 12 week "boot camp" before starting on a job site. Apprentices are paid while on the job, but not for schooling.
