Looking to build a future. Here’s your toolkit.
NWLETT – Laborers Training
Look around. It’s happening all over the region. See all those tower cranes and all that heavy equipment? All the roads and bridges and tunnels and rail transportation under construction? All of the high-rise buildings throughout the Puget Sound region and massive data centers in Eastern Washington? It’s called a building boom and the recently passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will pump $550 billion into the construction industry. Those guys and gals in hard hats and orange vests are skilled construction Laborers and there’s never been a greater demand for them as there is now. So, if you’re up for the challenge, our apprenticeship program has a hard hat with your name on it. And we’ll train you. For free. No cost to you!
