Testimonial Apprentice Eric Martinez
Apprentice Eric Martinez is one example whose life was changed for the better because of the apprenticeship program.
The apprenticeship allowed Eric to go from gang members and foster homes to a career in the construction industry.
“It’s been really good. It’s a different mindset on life. It’s responsibility, it’s paying my bills. It’s a career”
Success Stories
Testimonial Apprentice Sabrina Martin “During my apprenticeship with Local 3 I gained the basic foundation of who I am and what I value.
Commitment means getting to work on time everyday. I gained skills as an operator that I can pass on to the next apprentice who follows me.
My view of life and work ethic are described in these words: If that guy can do it, then so can I.”
