Construction Industry 2019

RESOURCE GUIDE

Funding for this Publication provided by: Construction Industry Association of Rochester (CIAR); UNiCON Rochester—Unions and Businesses United in Construction; and the Workforce Development Institute (WDI) DIRECTORY MISSION

The mission of the Construction Industry Resource Directory is to make information available for current and future career seekers who have an interest in joining the skilled construction trades and related professions. The vast field of construction incorporates numerous professions; the purpose of this directory is to provide information related to each craft and profession, and provide a connection to the pathways for entering your field of choice.

This directory contains contact information for the Rochester area local unions associated with each trade. It also delineates secondary schools, community colleges, as well as both public and private universities in the Rochester area that offer training programs related to various Architectural, Engineering and Construction related professions. The construction industry in Rochester has followed the national trend of having an increase in job availability. At the same time employers are reporting a lack of qualified individuals to hire. Local apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeship and trade school programs help bridge this gap. NOW is the perfect time to consider a career in construction!

Union apprenticeship programs are a great way to become proficient in a craft while working in a trade and earning a paycheck. They are designed with both classroom instruction and jobsite training experiences. Programs typically last 3 to 5 years, and apprentices receive one or more pay raises each year. Pre-apprenticeship programs are introductory programs that give you the background you need to be able to apply to apprenticeship programs. They give you a chance to experience one or more crafts and provide the employer an opportunity to grow their workforce. Some of these programs are unpaid, yet most union pre-apprenticeship programs are paid. For more information about apprentice and pre-apprentice programs visit WWW.UNICONROCHESTER.COM.

All of these crafts exist in many different areas of the industry: residential, commercial, industrial, institutional (schools, hospitals etc.), heavy-highway (roads, bridges) and more. As with any life decision, knowing what specialty your skills match will make your experience more successful and save you time in the long run. It is worth taking a look at all your options before choosing one and this directory can be your first step on that journey.

Typically, construction unions have one Collective Bargaining Agreement (or contract) that is common with many different employers. This is referred to as a “Multi-Employer Agreement.” Under these contracts all workers are paid the same level of wages and benefits for their specific classification of work, all of which is negotiated for the worker by the union. During periods of low employment, the union’s multi-employer agreements provide the worker with multiple opportunities for continued employment, as the union will refer you to another contractor and, at a minimum, you can expect to receive the same level of pay and benefits irrespective of the contractor you work for. When working for a non-union employer your conditions of employment, wages and benefits are established directly by each individual employer and may be different from company to company. During slow periods if your employer cannot keep you working, you will need to find a new job on your own. You will also need to negotiate your new wage and benefits with that new employer.

Individuals seeking a career in Architecture or Engineering must pursue those career paths through secondary education at a college of your choice. These professions offer substantial and rewarding career choices and if college is right for you, then we strongly recommend you explore the many paths within these fields. Many regional Institutions that provide degree programs and related courses are outlined on the following pages. For those looking for more of a “Hands-On” career, then an apprenticeship in the skilled construction trades may be right for you. It’s not just a job – it’s a career – and apprenticeship is the pre-eminent pathway to building your exciting new future, and a lifetime of professional fulfillment in construction!

Apprenticeship is the premier “Earn-While-You-Learn” opportunity when starting a new career in construction. The Union apprenticeships are by every measure the “Gold Standard” of this career option. While in your apprenticeship, which usually lasts 3 to 5 years, you will work full-time in the field of your choice and receive a pay check with benefits. You will also attend a part-time trade school, all of which is paid for through contributions made by all union employers and union workers. This means that you, as an apprentice, do not have to pay tuition and do not graduate with a mountain of debt to pay! DATA & SOURCES

Carpenters are involved in many different kinds of construction, from the building of highways and bridges to the installation of kitchen cabinets. Carpenters construct, erect, install, and repair structures and fixtures made from wood and other materials. Working from blueprints or instructions from supervisors, carpenters first do the layout – measuring, marking, and arranging materials – in accordance with local building codes. They cut and shape wood, plastic, fiberglass, or drywall using hand and power tools, such as chisels, planes, saws, drills, and sanders. They then join the materials with nails, screws, staples, or adhesives. In the last step, carpenters do a final check of the accuracy of their work with levels, rules, plumb bobs, framing squares, and surveying equipment, and make any necessary adjustments.

Construction laborers can be found on almost all construction sites performing a wide range of tasks from the very easy to the potentially hazardous. They can be found at building, highway, and heavy construction sites; residential and commercial sites; tunnel and shaft excavations; and demolition sites. Many of the jobs they perform require physical strength, training, and experience. While most construction laborers specialize in a type of construction, such as highway or tunnel construction, some are generalists who perform many different tasks during all stages of construction. Construction laborers, who work in underground construction, such as in tunnels, or in demolition are more likely to specialize in only those areas. Note: The wage rates listed below are for Building “Vertical” construction. Heavy Highway rates typically exceed these rates.

What is an Apprenticeship? The Other Four-Year Degree

Apprenticeship is the process of learning a skilled occupation that combines an on-the-job work experience with classroom instruction. The apprentice trains under the guidance of experienced journey workers. Training programs typically last four or five years and vary based on the occupation. Earn While You Learn—No Student Loans: Apprentices receive pay and benefits throughout their training. The average apprenticeship graduate will earn more over their career than a person who received a two-year degree. Take Your Certification Anywhere: Certification is recognized nationwide at any building trade union. There are also many universities that will give you college credit for your apprenticeship, if you’d like to go for an additional associate’s or bachelor’s degree. Union contractors are investing in you. There is a written contract between the apprentice and the union that acknowledges their shared commitment to the training process. This agreement is approved and registered by the New York State Department of Labor. Building trades employers invest over $1.3 billion every year into training apprentices and an additional $10 billion in apprentice wages and benefits. Your training is well worth their investment as their average return is $3 for every $1 spent on training.

As a registered apprentice: • You are part of the sponsor’s workforce • You must meet the sponsor’s minimum qualifications for employment

Each craft has different minimum qualifications. Most require: • 18 years old • A high school diploma; or the equivalent of a high school diploma

These requirements, and others, are outlined on the following pages.

Pg. 59 Apprenticeship Training Programs How to become an apprentice What is my training like? Each apprenticeable occupation has a standard training outline. This assures that apprentices across the state have the same set of skills. The length of time it takes you to learn the skills of the occupation will depend upon the standard training outline and how fast you learn.

Apprentice Levels Each trade has a definite term of training, typically listed in years. As you move up in years, your pay also increases to reflect how many more skills you’ve gained. As a registered apprentice, you may progress according to that training term. Or, you may become skilled more quickly or more slowly than the training term. You may even start your apprenticeship with credit toward your goal. This is because your union may choose to award you credit for prior work experience or coursework in the occupation.

On-The-Job Training You work under the guidance of experienced craft workers called journey workers. From them, you learn the skills of the trade. As you master each skill, you become a more productive employee.

Classroom Training At the same time you are working, you are also required to attend classroom related instruction. This is usually in the evenings. The place and time of instruction is set up by the union. Locations may include a trade school, Community College, BOCES, or the Local Union. Your progress is tracked by you and your Union.

Certification At the successful completion of each registered apprenticeship, the Department of Labor awards you with a "Certificate of Completion." This is a nationally-recognized credential.

Continuing Education A new trend in apprenticeship is for the apprentice to earn an educational degree. This builds on the current required classroom instruction. Some sponsors do this by combining the standard on-the-job skill part of apprenticeship with expanded classroom instruction in a particular field. Every craft approaches this opportunity differently and you should discuss this option with your union. Apprenticeship Training Programs How to become an apprentice How much does apprenticeship cost?

IT’S FREE! Union apprenticeship training is usually offered by the sponsor at no cost to the apprentice. There may be some rare instances where the apprentice is asked to pay for the cost related to specialty instruction. As a rule, there are no costs to you. Apprenticeship programs allows you to earn money while you learn!

What Apprenticeship Opportunities Exist? Opportunities exist when and where registered sponsors need to increase the number of people in their industry sector. Most Building Trades Unions offer some form of continuous recruitment. You should contact the programs of interest to you for more information.

How do I apply?

If you are interested in becoming an apprentice you may: • Contact the Local Apprenticeship Offices listed on the following pages. • Search NY's Job Bank. The New York State Department of Labor will list all apprenticeship openings in the Job Bank on their website. • Have all the necessary documents prepared and ready to provide the sponsor upon their request. • Many programs require that applications be completed in person at the sponsor’s designated location.Be on time! • All occupations generally require reliable transportation, a clean driving record, drivers license, and a clean drug test.

Only apprenticeship programs officially registered with the New York State Department of Labor are recognized nationally. Only these state certified programs can offer a Certificate of Completion to the apprentice at the conclusion of the approved training.
