The AGC of NW Ohio provides resources that can help you decide if a career in commercial construction is right for you. Some of the most iconic projects (pictured above) were completed by Union Skilled Trades Workers.
A career in a commercial construction trade begins with an apprenticeship. An apprentice will learn both in the classroom and on the job site. They receive wages and benefits and -- in many cases -- credit hours towards an Associate's Degree. Those who complete an apprenticeship become Journeyman. The Northwest Ohio Construction Education Center is a great resource for career and apprenticeship opportunities!
Visits to schools and meetings often require us to be out of the office. It is best to call or email and set up an appointment.
