Secretary of Labor Tours Denver Training Center
Last week, Colorado Local 555 hosted United States Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer for a tour of the Denver Carpenters Training Center. We appreciate her visit, and for meeting with our apprentices and recognizing the critical role Apprenticeship programs play in building a strong, future-ready workforce.
Chavez-DeRemer was sworn in as the 30th Secretary of Labor in March, and has been a long-time supporter of labor unions.
Career Connections Signing Days – Locals 714 and 1319
Career Connections hosted two Signing Days for Locals 714 and 1319 last week. The events acknowledge high school seniors who have completed the program, and are enroute to successful Union carpentry careers. Orange County Carpenters in California and Albuquerque Carpenters in New Mexico showed up to support the high school students who completed the program, offering them recognition for the time and commitment they made to the program. These students are now well equipped with the knowledge needed to work on job sites as soon as this summer.
