Join the East Bay Team and the NCCBTU with our continuing effort to beautify Oakland at our monthly Adopt-A-Highway Clean-Up this Saturday 4/19. 6672 Oakport St, Oakland from 9am-11am.

On Friday April 4th Local 12 Flooring Business Representative Edgar Flores and Local 3 Painters & Drywall Finishers Business Representative JP Anthony participated in DeJean Middle School College and Career Fair. This was a great opportunity for us to educate the youth as the head into high school about the opportunities that our union has to offer. Many of these students had the chance to tour our training facility and experience some hands-on experience with our amazing training staff. With the implementation of MC3 and ROP programs into various high schools throughout the Bay Area, we understand the importance of educating our youth at a younger age about the great life the union has to offer.
The end of an era is drawing near. If you haven’t heard, we are currently relocating our training facility from our 2020 Williams St, San Leandro location. The new School will be located at 400 Gandy Dancer Dr, Tracy CA and it sits on an astonishing 28 acres of land. If you’re in the area feel free to drive by and check out the new home for our Training Center. Director of Training Alex Beltran has a vision for the future of the FTI where all our apprentice needs will be able to be addressed on site. The moving process has already begun, and we expect to be fully relocated by the end of 2025. We are excited about the future of our union, and we hope you all are as well!
The DC16 Apprenticeship Graduation Ceremony will be held on July 19 at Scotts Seafood, 2 Broadway, Oakland. To all the apprentices that will be in attendance, this is a time for you to celebrate your accomplishments with the people that have supported you along this journey, so we encourage you to take this time to enjoy yourself and the moment. You all deserve it! We appreciate all your hard work and dedication to the trades we represent at DC16. Without you, there would be no us!! Congratulations to the future of our unions!!
