We are proud to partner with Bloomberg Philanthropies on a new initiative helping more young people access hands-on technical training, paid work-based learning, and direct pathways into Registered Apprenticeships and high-demand skilled trades careers.

Together, schools, labor unions, employers, and local leaders are building stronger connections between the classroom and career opportunities in the skilled trades.

The work continues 💪

This past Saturday, 11 members from Local 432 and one member from Local 420 returned to Pine Valley Youth Camp in Ellwood City, PA for the Mentor Committee's second volunteer day at the camp. While six metal doors were installed and additional siding was completed on the new dining hall, the bigger story is why the project is so important.

Pine Valley serves at-risk and underprivileged youth ages 6 to 15 by helping them develop life and basic job skills. Thank you to everyone who put their own skills to work for a place that’s doing right by kids who deserve it.
