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.

Sheet Metal Workers’ Local 19 is a local union of International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers.

FAQ
Good sheet metal workers are true craftsmen and craftswomen. Each one is required to have been fully trained in a wide variety of disciplines and to use these talents, both mental and physical, on a daily basis. This assures you of getting a skilled professional, worthy of the respect the Sheet Metal Industry has proudly earned.
The majority of our students complete a three-year apprenticeship training, consisting of classes and on-the-job work experience while you earn as you lean, and go on to have productive careers in the construction industry.
