Joining th jatc union?

Question

i recently graduated high school and now i am interested in being an aprentice for the eletrical union. ive read all the requirements and the procedure but the only thing is, l'm not 18 yet. im turning 18 on december 1st. do you think they will accpet me?

Answer 1

No they probably won't. The reason they say 18 is because of safety. It is a liability for them to hire some one. They might let you intern until you turn 18, though. Call and find out. They might even let you apprentice until then. Keep your name in the business so when you do turn 18, they will be ready for you.
