Become an Apprentice
The International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers is always willing to accept capable individuals into our trades through our Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (J.A.T.C.) program. This is a four-year program with classes one weekend a month January through September each year.
Apprentices EARN while they LEARN.
Not only do apprentices gain much needed, hands-on training inside and outside of the classroom, they also earn a living wage from day one. This means, unlike traditional post-high school education, apprentices do not accumulate thousands of dollars in debt and have the ability to build a solid, stable middle-class life.
Consistent across the country with every J.A.T.C. apprenticeship program, is the fact apprentices are paid escalating wages while they are being educated. Every year your wages increase as your knowledge in the trade grows.
All Insulation Workforce Training includes:
- OSHA 10- and 30-Hour Safety Training Courses
- Asbestos Removal and Mediation
- Lead Removal and Mediation
- Firestop
- 3E Energy Audits
- CPR and First Aid Training Courses
- Professional Code of Conduct Program
The Insulators Local 55 apprenticeship program is based in Mobile, Alabama, and provides a registered earn-while-you-learn training model for the mechanical insulation and asbestos abatement industry.
