Did You Know?
The Masonry industry is building its manpower strength through comprehensive apprenticeship schools throughout the country. Not only are new craftworkers learning to construct new buildings, they are also learning the skills needed to retain the beauty of your historical structures. The apprenticeship program through the Bricklayers Allied Craftworks Local 2 has invested over 8 million hours in training the men and women who are masons in the Local 2 territory.
