Cause I want to join the apprenticeship in arizona but I don't know if after the pre training or the two week training is gonna take so long to get me working, how's the work and lay offs being as a apprentice?

I just got dispatched to the solar project in Williams, AZ and was wondering if anyone here had info on schedule, lodging, work conditions, or any other relevant information.

I applied 1 year ago, my app just expired (thought it was good for 2 years but whatever) I’m thinking of applying for mechanic this year instead of operator.

Is there anyone that is currently a mechanic?
How much is the pay difference?
How are the hours? Year round?
Is shop better to get into, or field?

Thanks for the info!

Regarding locations that accept applications year round, does it make a difference whether I apply in the early spring or now ? I’m guessing work is all filled up for the current season so should I wait until early next year to apply ?

Does anyone know if IUOE Local 68 in South Jersey trains electricians as part of their apprenticeship? If so, does the program help you work toward obtaining a New Jersey electrical license, or would you need to complete a separate electrical apprenticeship? I’d appreciate any insight from anyone who’s been through the program. Thanks!

Did any one in district 2 get a call for evaluations this year?

Greetings!

I am a math teacher at a public high school in Chicago (home of Local 399). I am trying to incorporate more hands on practical processes into my classroom. In our trigonometry unit we always use simple diagrams with side lengths and angles to introduce the basics of trig. However, I want to push beyond the simple examples and show my students the more complicated (and in my opinion more interesting) situations where angles are used "in real life."

To that end, I have been introducing students to various trade tools used for measurement. The one that I haven't been able to get my hands on yet is a theodolite or total station (for obvious cost reasons). I made my own crude theodolite using a multipurpose angle measurer from Harbor Freight but that's just a $6 piece of plastic and incredibly inaccurate.

Do y'all have any recommendations for an entry level theodolite and tripod? or are there any Local 399 members that would be able to help me out in the city? I can do a Donors Choose fundraiser to make up the cost if needed.

I'm basically looking for general advice regarding practical angle and distance measurement. What tools do you think I should procure so my students can be familiar with the real world application of measurement and are there decent ones that cost less than several grand?

Thank you!

So I got accepted to the oe324 3 day orientation/ field evaluation my 3 days was June 24,25 and 26 my question is at the end of the last day they said to answer every phone call because you just don’t know it could be a opportunity but of course it’s top secret where you are on that list or if you even made the list I have seen and heard people actually getting a letter saying their on the list I have not received one it’s been about 3 weeks so should I just assume I didn’t make the list and go a different route or am I overthinking and should give it more time.

Was the work looking like in Az ?
What outfits are paying subs ?

Just submitted the online application for an apprenticeship for local 18 (district 3). What’s the likelihood of getting a call/email? Are the entry tests pretty easy?

So I’m a 3rd year apprentice, who’s fully CCO licensed and have been running cranes for a few years now, what would be the likelihood or is it possible to transfer
To another local, in a state I prefer vs where I currently live.

Anyone got any idea how long it will take to get into an apprenticeship after taking the exam. (I know that depends on score etc) just looking to get a rough estimate of the time line I should be looking at and any info you guys have that could help me stand out.
Also had some questions about how the process of getting to work after the exam actually works.

I’m seeing people say that having an 83 isnt a good enough score to be called soon. I would need to wait years before being called. Is this true? Has anyone scored in the low 80s & received a call? I still have my interview coming up(not too worried about it) but i just want to know my options 😅.

Hey everyone, I’m an Journeyman operating engineer currently in Illinois and going to be relocating to Arizona. I was just looking for a little bit of insight from those in the area on what the work looks like down there and how your hours typically run thank you for any information.

Is this a good score and am I waiting on my ranking from the sound of it ?

Hello, I’m looking for some good advice. I’m a journeyman in 324 Michigan. I’ve been a commercial diver for 16 years and our trade falls under the IUOE in the Great Lakes region. I’m getting older and looking to switch to something more practical like operating equipment. At the end of this month I’m going to the international training center to hopefully get my CCO. Now here is where I need help… I live in central FL and travel to MI for dive work. If I’m gonna be an operator, I’d like to switch to the FL local Orlando 673. What does that process look like? Should I start by going into 673 and talking to the BA? Does my 324 pension stay with 324? Are the rates for FL posted online? I’ll probably just go speak to the BA in 673 for these answers, but any extra advice from anyone that has done this would be appreciated. Thanks

Has anyone using helmets to hard hats in Michigan been called for an orientation? I’m aware of regular applicants already being invited out for orientation. Also, is there any chance on starting further along in the apprenticeship with heavy equipment experience from the air force building runways? Also held a crane license that has since expired. Thanks.

What’s up guys! Does anybody know if I’m able to work a private sector Local 30 job (or even a city local 30 job down the line) NIGHT SHIFT (10-6) and a Local 891 Custodial Engineer job 7-4? Bringing it to Reddit because I’m getting mixed answers from the people I ask in person.

I really miss my first operator job running off road truck in a taconite mine. 12 hour shifts 4/4. Having a good audiobook just made the days fly by. Lately I've been paving and running hydro vac and I have to be mentally present throughout the day. Wondering if there's other chill options to train on this winter.

I’m in CA and local 12 is opening apps in August. I am currently 25 weeks pregnant, due to give birth late October. My question is, would it be a bad idea to apply this go around if I’m not technically cleared to work til about January? Not sure how long the hiring process would be, and when I’d be starting training etc. Any tips appreciated!

Also how can I study? I’m a provisional looking if I should plan to get bumped

Thanks
