Meet Charmaine Jones…. “I am a first-year industrial painter with Local 3, driven by a lifelong passion for the trades inspired by my father, a jack-of-all-trades. Out of seven siblings, I was the one who chose to follow in his footsteps, learning alongside him on job sites and teaching myself through hands-on experience and online resources. My path became clearer when I completed the Pre-Apprenticeship Program; Rising Sun Center for Opportunity, where I gained invaluable confidence, career preparation, and a strong professional support system. As a new apprentice, I’m soaking up as much information and advice as I can to grow in my trade.”
