Pre-Apprenticeship Program MN/ND BAC Local 1 Training Center
If you do not have experience in bricklaying or tile work, Local 1 offers a six-week training program in the spring to get you started. The program has a starting date of June 7th, Monday – Friday from 7 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. through July 16th. A successful candidate must attend all sessions to be considered for employment through one of our signatory contractors.
The pre-apprenticeship is a competency-based, self-paced training program. Each of the six training units are approximately one week and combine hands-on mock-ups and related classroom instruction. No cost to the student but the application pool is competitive.
Those enrolled in the pre-apprenticeship program are required to pass the Performance Assessment Reports as well as maintain an average of 75% on all written exams to pass this course and qualify for a recommendation to our signatory contractors to begin the apprenticeship process.
Students who successfully complete the pre-job training may be granted up to 1,000 hours of work experience to apply toward the 6,000-hour total on-the-job work requirement in the five-year apprenticeship program through Local 1.
