Union Construction for Women Veterans Information Night

Women Veterans: The construction industry needs you!

Union construction careers pay $22 – $51 per hour in addition to benefit packages between $10 – $31 per hour.

As a military veteran you have skills that are transferable to a high-wage, high-demand career in the construction trades.

Construction training is through Registered Apprenticeship which is often tuition-free and eligible for college credit and GI Benefits.
Earn a percentage of Journeylevel wage which increases as you advance in your on-the-job and classroom training.
