The union building trades have earned a reputation as being the best-skilled construction workers in North America, and this is largely due to quality training.<\/p>\n

After all, you cannot be the best if you are not taught to be the best.<\/p>\n

Quality training is one of the main ways affiliated members of the Columbus\/Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades separate themselves from their competitors.<\/p>\n

Through Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committees (JATCs), our affiliated unions provide free, quality apprenticeship training and journeymen upgrade training courses. At state-of-the-art training centers, certified instructors teach continuously updated curriculums containing the latest industry and safety technology for the best training in the construction industry.<\/p>\n

A union-trained craftsman receives certified training, including safety and skills training, at no cost to the union member. Each of our affiliated JATCs provides safety training both on the job and through Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) construction outreach training programs.<\/p>\n

The construction industry relies heavily on skilled craftsmanship, so apprenticeship and upgrade training programs give our union members the skills and knowledge they need to be fully productive trades workers. Union journeymen are kept current and up-to-date in the newest technologies, helping to ensure they work both productively and efficiently on the jobsite.<\/p>\n

Statistics show that union training programs significantly outperform their non-union counterparts in enrollment levels, graduation rates, caliber of overall curriculum and training facility quality.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-f6841ab2-6556-4ee9-a345-ac304b36ae3f” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”64px|30px|64px|30px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”64px|30px|64px|30px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f6841ab2-6556-4ee9-a345-ac304b36ae3f%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” module_class=”flex items-center wrap” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” width=”100%” max_width=”1440px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|true” custom_padding=”64px|63px|64px|63px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”40px|20px|40px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”40px|20px|40px|20px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/columbusconstruction.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Qualtiy-Training.jpg” alt=”High-Quality Registered Apprenticeship Training” title_text=”Quality-Training” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|–et_global_body_font_weight|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”20px” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”36px” header_3_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_3_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”||10px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The foundation of quality training rests with our affiliated JATCs.<\/p>\n

Through their Registered Apprenticeship Programs, apprentices receive a debt-free education as the apprentices earn a livable wage while learning new skills.<\/p>\n

This means they receive a blend of hands-on training and classroom instruction, ensuring they develop the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their careers. Apprentices earn a livable wage as they learn on-the-job skills from journeymen, combined with classroom training to help them learn the mathematics skills and theories needed to perform their jobs. Plus, they also earn industry-leading safety certifications to help them stay safe on the jobsite. Some trades require apprentices to earn various certifications documenting that they have mastered the skills and techniques required to perform their jobs.<\/p>\n

Depending on the trade, an apprenticeship program could last anywhere from three to five years.<\/p>\n

During this time, apprentices not only receive livable wages but also receive full-family medical benefits and begin to invest in their retirement.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_class=”flex items-center wrap” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”1440px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”64px|63px|64px|63px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”40px|30px|40px|30px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”40px|30px|40px|30px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”gcid-f6841ab2-6556-4ee9-a345-ac304b36ae3f” header_2_font_size=”36px” custom_margin=”||1px|||” header_2_font_size_tablet=”24px” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f6841ab2-6556-4ee9-a345-ac304b36ae3f%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22%93}”]

Topping out as a journeyman does not mean the end of training.<\/p>\n

Journeymen receive upgrade training to ensure their skillsets remain the best in the business.<\/p>\n

While the requirements are different for each trade, it is common for journeymen to take training to upgrade their skills, improve their efficiency, learn how to use the latest technology or take new courses to advance their careers.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/columbusconstruction.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Solar-Class-5-scaled-1.jpeg” title_text=”Solar-Class-5-scaled-1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Responsible contracting policies establish a basic set of qualifications that all firms must meet in order to bid on construction projects that:<\/p>\n

    \n

    Responsible contracting policies require construction contractors to demonstrate that they offer high-quality employment and work. Firms that meet responsible contractor standards are able to show that they:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Are fully licensed and bonded<\/li>\n
    • Have had no wage\/hour violations for the past three consecutive years<\/li>\n
    • Provide OSHA 10-hour safety training<\/li>\n
    • Participate in an ERISA or joint labor-management training program (e.g. certified apprenticeship program)<\/li>\n
    • Pay Prevailing Wages and offer health insurance<\/li>\n
    • Provide all benefits of employment to their workforce (including Social Security, Workers\u2019<\/li>\n
    • Compensation and unemployment insurance)<\/li>\n
    • Comply with all other federal and state regulations<\/li>\n

In regions where few construction workers belong to unions, responsible contracting policies can dissuade poor-performing contractors from bidding on public contracts.\n\nBy including responsible contractor language in construction contracts, entities make sure general contractors and subcontractors do not misclassify their workers as independent contractors, which renders the employees ineligible for Social Security, unemployment insurance, health insurance and Workers\u2019 Compensation.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false},"class_list":["post-2105","construction-issue","type-construction-issue","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nQuality Construction Training | Columbus Building Trades<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover high-quality, debt-free construction training in Columbus.
