Hello!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me briefly, and virtually introduce myself! My name is Alex Cardinal and I have worked with the Carpenters Union Local 2486 for the last three years as the Apprentice and Training Coordinator. My role with the Local is to help register apprentices, support them throughout their apprenticeship and guide all of your new applicants through the process of becoming our members. I also manage the training requests and scheduling. Local 2486 offers a number of apprenticeships in the Carpentry, Drywall and Flooring trades. With all of the brand new projects and maintenance projects the field is seeing a major shortage in skilled trades workers. Over the next few years, the field will be short up to 400 individuals.\u00a0 We welcome all applicants, regardless of their experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to apply<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To become an applicant with Local 2486 there are a few steps to take. The first step would be reaching out to our office ( the contact information below) to be able to be scheduled for an interview. Throughout the interview, an applicant would be explained the wage schedule, the possible work opportunities, discuss what the Local\u2019s goals are as well as the objectives. Interviewers will also describe the mandatory safety training required to work through the Carpenter\u2019s Union such as Working at Heights, WHMIS 2015, Workers Health and Safety in Four Steps <\/em>and Confined Space Awareness.<\/em> We will also help guide you where to find this training and possible opportunities to obtain this training through the Local!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
