What to Expect
The mason apprentice program is a 3-year program at no cost to the apprentice—provided that you maintain employment with a member contractor. As your work experience expands, your salary will be reviewed every 6 months by your employer and instructor. With a good attendance record and command of necessary skills, apprentices can enjoy increases in salary.
As an apprentice, you will learn to do the job right the first time by a qualified instructor (Journey person). You are taught both job safety and the tools to develop good work and life skills. As an apprentice in training, you will learn the trade faster and safer and have a better chance to advance to a foreman or supervisor position based on your skill level.
Mason contractors have been facing a shortage of skilled masons. With the skills you learn in the 3-year program you begin a career for life and can take your experience anywhere in the world for employment.
Classroom training will teach you about tools, materials, job safety, layout for block and brick and blue print reading.
