Training and Education
Union Carpenters are built different because we are trained different.
We believe the best construction workforce starts with the best training. Whether you are just starting out or looking to grow your career, we are here to help you succeed.
Through partnership with Carpenters Training Institute (CTI), we offer world-class apprenticeship and skill advancement programs across 16 CTI training centers, investing over $5 million each year. No state or federal funding. Just our commitment to building a safer, smarter, and more efficient workforce.
Our training is led by nationally certified instructors who are part of a network supported by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC), which invests over $120 million annually nationwide. Instructors stay sharp with over 100 "Train the Trainer" courses each year to bring the latest technology, tools, and safety practices to every classroom.
We don't just train our members - we build careers, support families, and strenghten our communities. Our investment helps members earn higher wages, access great benefits, and stay competitive in a fast-moving industry. It also gives our signatory contractors the professional, highly-skilled workforce they need to stay competitive, be profitable, and succeed.
