To apply for admission into our apprenticeship program in person, you must complete an application on any Tuesday or Thursday promptly at 8:30am. At this time you will receive in person a sample “Intent to Hire” letter, a list of signatory contractors, and a current job list.

After your application is submitted, you must seek employment with a signatory contractor. The contractor will sign the “Intent to Hire” letter upon employment and the signed letter must be brought down in person within one week of employment on a Tuesday or Thursday promptly at 8:30am at the following location:

Ohio Carpenters JATC - Monroe Campus
361 Breaden Dr.
Monroe, OH 45050
513-539-7849

Following the letter process, you will be asked to complete some paperwork and submit to a drug test, at your own cost.* After completing these two steps, a work permit card will be mailed to your home address and your apprenticeship will begin with orientation training.

In the event the applicant passes the Substance Abuse Test, a work permit card will be mailed to the applicant’s home address. If the applicant fails to complete or pass the Substance Abuse Test, he/she will be denied acceptance into the Training Program and will not be eligible to reapply until at least 100 days have elapsed and then only with the approval of and subject to any conditions set by the Substance Abuse Subcommittee. In addition, both the company which signed the Intent to Hire letter and the Union will be notified of any positive result.

Once admitted, the applicant will be notified by mail as to when to report for the first Week of orientation training. The applicant must attend one week (40 hours) of training class every three months for a total of 160 hours per year. The applicant must work a minimum of 650 hours every six months or 1,300 hours each year. Failure to attend the required training classes or to maintain sufficient work days will delay the six-month pay increases.
