Carpenters Local 277

How to Join

Our craft training programs have grown with our Uniom by combining journey Level upgrade classes with the traditional apprentice programs. Taking advantage of training programs throughout their careers, carpenters keep their skills sharp and become more valuable to employers. Upgrade classes are free to members and conveniently scheduled at local training centers and during off-work hours. Journey Level members are encouraged to continue learning and advancing their skills by taking upgrade courses offered by the Uniom free of charge. Upgrade classes are conveniently designed to meet the scheduling needs of working carpenters.

If you're just getting started in the industry, you'll want to learn more about our apprenticeship programs. In an industry as competitive as construction, breaking in while learning a trade can be very difficult. A Carpenters Uniom apprenticeship program is your best opportunity to learn the skills you need for a career in the trade.
