Political Representatives Touring Our Training Facilities
With the political races in full swing here in Northern Nevada, we have had a lot of interest from politicians looking for our support and wanting to understand what we do as a union. Recently we gave a tour of our training facility located in Sparks, NV. Heather Goulding (D) running for Nevada Assembly District 27 was interested in seeing the facility and wanted to understand how training and apprenticeships work in the IUPAT. Luckily for her we were holding a floor covering apprenticeship class that day. Heather was amazed at our facilities and had a chance to talk to our instructors and students about what they want from a candidate and what she could do to keep their interest at the top of her list if elected. If every politician came to us to understand more of what we do and why we do it, just think about the possibilities that might have on laws and policies in our state and nation.
