Trainees in New Community Workforce Development Center’s Building Trades Program visited the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades to tour the 40,000-square-foot training facility located in Springfield. The union will begin accepting new apprentices for its four-year apprenticeship program that starts December 10, in which several NCC trainees are preparing to participate. The Building Trades trainees heard a presentation and met with current apprentices who shared their experiences. Photos courtesy of Rodney Brutton.
