Training

Local 19 has a COE-certified training center to teach our apprentices and journeypersons cutting-edge techniques and safety protocols to ensure they’re the best-trained, safest workforce available. For more information, visit our Training page.

Community Work

Outside of our work to supply a skilled and safe workforce to our signatory contractors, Local 19 is also a resource for our communities. We’re proud to engage in work with local non-profits, community groups, places of worship, and elected officials to make our communities better. It’s also a chance to let the skills, supplies, and expertise of our members and contractors shine.
