PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27, 2018 -- On February 28th, the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters (NRCC) will host two information sessions to educate Philadelphia-area women how they can start a career as a well-paid Union Carpenter through the Sisters in the Brotherhood (SIB) Pre-Apprenticeship Program. The information sessions will be held at the NRCC Training Center (10401 Decatur Road) in Philadelphia, PA at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The SIB Pre-Apprenticeship program is a six-week training course that prepares women to become carpenter apprentices. The 40-hour per week course trains women carpenters in a variety of in-class curriculum and hands-on training in mathematics, occupational safety and hazards, hand/power tool training and job-site culture. After successful completion of the program, women carpenters graduate to the NRCC Apprentice program. To find out more about the information session or the SIB Pre-Apprenticeship Program, please visit http://www.northeastcarpenters.org/sisters.
NRCC Sisters in the Brotherhood Chair Susan Schultz, actively works to recruit women in the Philadelphia-area and encourages all Philadelphia-area women to attend the information session to learn more about beginning a rewarding career in carpentry.
“The information session is an essential first step in becoming a Union Carpenter,” said Schultz. “It prepares women who are interested in carpentry to understand the expectations and requirements of the Pre-Apprenticeship Program. Women who have graduated from our Sisters in the Brotherhood program are already on the job site and earning a good salary and health and retirement benefits.”
