Apprenticeships:
  • Individual is hired as a pre-apprentice for a 1-2 year timeframe to assess their mechanical aptitude and work ethic. If they are interested in pursuing the trades and meet our criteria, they would be indentured into a 5 year apprenticeship program through the State of Wisconsin.
  • Candidates are required to take and pass an Accuplacer test at local technical college for reading and math in order to be eligible. They will also need a high school diploma and transcript.
  • All apprenticeship programs have a great deal of math involved. If someone has struggled with math throughout their previous education (high school or college), they will probably struggle with this through their apprenticeship.
  • During their apprenticeship, employees go to school during a normal school year (September to May). Plumbers and Steamfitter apprentices go for a full day every other week for a span of 4 years. Local 18 apprentices go for a full day every week for a span of 2 years. Apprentices are paid their wages for the days they spend in class. They are then able to bring back what they learn and apply it in their work environment.
  • There are also night classes that are required throughout the 5 year program such as OSHA 30 hour, etc. The classes for night school are often paid for by the union, but the employee is not paid wages for any night classes. For Local 18, the night school classes are only paid for by the union if the student has 100% attendance.
  • During the apprenticeship, there is also a work hour requirement for on-the-job training and experience. Apprentices usually do not have trouble meeting this requirement since they're typically working at Bassett throughout the full apprenticeship.

OMS (Organization Management Services) is a great organization to reach out to for more information on the various apprenticeships available. They are an organization that provides coordination and administration of association activities for unionized construction contractors. Their website (http://www.omswi.com/) contains information on the various apprenticeships and also information on some of the 1st steps to take in that direction.
