I am a 27 year-old college graduate interested in becoming a carpenter. I would like to know more about the apprenticeship program offered in the Milwaukee area. Is it a paid apprenticeship? How do I apply? When can I begin? Is my age a hinderance? Thank you in advance for your help! Yours, Jerome

The Carpenters are always looking for talent and we would welcome your arrival. I suggest you contact our appenticeship center for information. They are domiciled in Milwaukee and can be reached at (414) 353-3000. Best wishes, statistics show that only 4 out of a hundred college graduates have the earning power of a union journeyman. Your age is not a factor, the apprenticeship is paid for by member contributions. Best wishes to you Jerome! Regards, Rocky
