Local 1059 has a vested interest in ensuring young people are made aware of the broad range of career options available to them. In recent years, we have partnered with schools throughout the Thames Valley District School Board and London District Catholic School Board to arrange field trips to our brand new, cutting edge Training Centre. These visits have been a huge success, and the feedback from students, teachers, and parents has been truly outstanding. These visits include a variety of hands-on activities in our Training Centre, which is designed to mimic a real construction site, and they’re facilitated by current student-apprentices who are just starting out in their careers. It’s a great opportunity for students to become immersed in the skilled trades, understand what they are, and get a sense of whether this career path is something they might be interested in down the road. It’s a fun, educational, and eye-opening day for both students and their teachers. Contact our Training Director Mike Ropp to arrange a visit!
