August, 2009

The Local 669 Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) conducts a five year apprenticeship program in all or part of 46 states in the U.S. for Sprinkler Fitters who are piping mechanics specializing in Fire Protection. We are very interested in your help to recruit qualified applicants. We also have excellent insurance, pension and education plans. The apprentice’s entry-level rate is based on a percentage of the Journeyman rate of $36.14 per hour and may increase every six months if qualified. Previous experience in construction or related college or military experience may enhance the entry-level wage.

The minimum qualifications for entry into the Program are:

1. Must be the age of 18 or over.
2. Must be a high school graduate or have G.E.D.
3. Must be physically fit to perform the work of the trade.
4. Must have military discharge under other than dishonorable conditions, if applicable.
Applications will be accepted five days per week, except holidays, 52 weeks per year between the hours of 9:00 - 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. at the contractor/employers address. All completed applications will be held on file until there is a need to interview applicants for expected opportunities.

Applications must be completed 45 days prior to interview date. All applicants must provide a copy of their birth certificate, high school diploma or G.E.D. Certificate and Military Discharge (Form DD-214) if applicable.

The JATC and Local 669 signatory contractors are Equal Employment Opportunity Employers.
