Welcome New Apprentices
Apprentices,
Welcome to the Heat and Frost Insulators Union Local 16. You have been selected to become a member of the Heat & Frost Insulators, Local 16 family. This is more than just a job, this is a career! You now have the potential of earning a great living providing you and your family with many benefits. I want to welcome you as you begin this journey and encourage you to become an active member within your Local.
Now that you have been dispatched to work, your related training at the Apprenticeship School will start. The schedule for classes is available on this site as well as I have sent it by mail. Over the next 5 years you will be training in many aspects of our Industry to give you the opportunity to become a great journeyman. Much of this will be determined by you. Your willingness to get involved as a Union member will be the key to your success. Attending your classes, Union meetings, and many other
functions we provide you will aid you in your development into a great Local 16 member.
An orientation class will be scheduled for you and this will be a mandatory class. At this class we will cover many items to help you through your apprenticeship and develop you into a quality journeyman. The orientation class will cover items such as:
- Orientation: Rules & Regulations, DAS Standards, DOL Standards, etc…
- COMET Training (Construction Organizing Membership Education Training)
- PCCC Training (Professional Craftsman Code of Conduct)
- Meet with the Executive Board
- Meet with the Business Manager & Agents
- Meet the first year instructor
- Meet with the Coordinator
You must report all on-the-job training (O.J.T.) work experience hours to the Apprenticeship Coordinator on a monthly basis using the ISAQR app. O.J.T. is one of the conditions for advancement. Make sure all hours are accurate. Previously indentured apprentices can help you with this requirement.
APPRENTICES ARE OBLIGATED TO NOTIFY BOTH THE COORDINATOR AND THE UNION OFFICE IN WRITING OF ANY CHANGES TO YOUR ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER.
There is no better time to build on traditions of quality, performance, and superior work habits than during your apprenticeship. The JATC expects you to work safely as well as conducting yourself in a creditable, ethical, and moral manner.
Following the instructions of your employer and representing your Union with pride.
