Becoming a sheet metal worker is an exciting, high-tech career for those who love working with their hands. The sheet metal worker's program is now accepting applications for its 2020-2021 apprenticeship programs.
These local apprenticeships are set up so students are paid to learn on real jobsites. And, once they graduate to journeymen, they don’t have to worry about finding a good job because they’ll already be five years into a high-paying career!
They create, install, and repair sheet metal products such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts, siding, and gutters. This includes cutting and bending the sheet metal, which is lightweight and flexible, and then welding, bolting, riveting or soldering the pieces together in shops and on commercial and residential jobsites.
In addition, they test, adjust, and balance air flow to assure that an HVAC system is providing maximum occupant comfort at the lowest energy cost possible.
Commissioning is another aspect of sheet metal work. Commissioning includes the testing of all building controls for each mode of operation. This process verifies that all systems are being sequenced correctly with each other, and that all interlocks are functioning properly to meet performance criteria.
Sheet Metal Workers’ Local 100 offers apprenticeships for veterans that can help you advance your career.
Becoming a sheet metal worker is a good job for veterans because veterans have the drive, commitment and work ethic to excel in these programs. Even without related training, veterans are ideal candidates.
Plus, these apprenticeship programs are approved for V.A. benefits so the pay you receive from an employer can be supplemented by educational benefits under the G.I. Bill — adding hundreds of dollars to your monthly take-home pay.
So, if you’re looking for great job training for veterans, don’t wait. Apply for our sheet metal apprenticeship program today!
