Are you looking to begin a career in the trades? Are you trying to avoid the cost of a college degree? Are you a Journeyworker looking for more skills training and leadership opportunities? Are you a tribal or military member looking for a career?
IUPAT DC5 and our local unions have partnered with numerous state-of-the-art training facilities to offer you the education and tools needed for professional success and economic stability.
As an IUPAT DC5 member, you will earn a living wage and benefits while you complete your career training.
The Regional Training Center
The Regional Training Center’s mission is to find, train and retain the highest caliber apprentices and continue to elevate the skillsets of seasoned journeymen and journeywomen. The Regional Training Center is the pinnacle of what the Union and Signatory contractors can accomplish in cooperation together…developing individuals for the future.
Local Unions
New apprentices are expected to join the union within eight days of their start date and to keep their union membership in good standing. Several Locals operate within District Council #5. They are listed below.
Contact your local union to discuss wages, benefits, layoffs, union membership, payment of dues, travel pay, subsistence, or death in the family. If you are laid off, contact your Local and put your name on the out-of-work list. Failure to do this can cost you work opportunities and can jeopardize your unemployment claims.
