Not all trades are available in every location (Omaha, Lincoln) Call for more information.
The training of the Cornhusker chapter is open to anyone interested in joining the industry whether the student works for a member or a non-member company. With the skilled labor shortage, we feel any one willing to work should be given the opportunity to learn.
Instructors are journey people in the trades selected from area companies, both members and non members.
