Unions

Carpenters Training Institute partners with the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters (NCSRCC) and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC) to develop a highly skilled workforce ready to establish a career in their trade.

Partnering for Lifelong Success

Each of our apprentices receives the skills and safety training necessary to become successful journeyworkers and active union members. We work hard to make sure the values we teach in the classroom and on the job align with the values upheld by the NCSRCC and the UBC.

Benefits of Joining a Union

Forget what you think you know about unions. Carpenters Training Institute is proud to support unions which exist to create job fairness and sustainable wages and benefits.

Earn a better wage.

The average unionized carpenter makes 30% more in annual wages than a non-union carpenter.

Save money.

Not only can the union pool money together in a larger group plan, helping you save money, but it also can ensure that all active working members have benefits—including pension, health insurance, and retirement savings.

Gain valuable industry experience.

Our apprenticeship program will teach you the skills you need to know to be a successful tradesperson—including how to collaborate with carpenters of all skill levels in order to safely and efficiently complete projects on time.
