Calling all apprentices!

Posted November 1, 2024

Do you think you have what it takes to be the best apprentice in District Council 16? Well if you do, you need to sign up for the Apprentice Installation Contest that will be held December 14th at the training center in San Leandro. Contestants will compete against other apprentices from 1237 (Sacramento) and 1512 (Las Vegas). The winner of this contest will represent DC16 at the Surfaces Convention in Las Vegas to compete against the top apprentice from DC5 (Seattle/Portland), DC36 (Southern California), and DC50 (Hawaii) to be crowned the Best Apprentice in our International Organization. So, I am encouraging all apprentices who are interested to reach out to any of the Business Reps or your Training Instructors for more information.

Please see the pictures below of our past apprentice Angel Muela who represented DC16 proudly and we in return were proud of him for his skilled craftsmanship that shows what our Local 12 apprentices can do!

Regards,
Steve Belong
Regional Director
