EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
State-of-the-art construction is a complex and technical field and continued growth will require the most skilled and educated workforce available. STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – should be an important focus for junior and senior high school students. A high school education is all that is required to be successful in the industry, though a college education, especially in STEM, may be beneficial.
WAGES:
As an apprentice, you Earn while you Learn - the construction industry pays wages throughout the process of learning a craft, some even include benefits. Apprentices typically start at approximately one-half of the journey-level wage rate, which ranges from $15 per hour for new apprentices to more than $38 per hour for experienced apprentices in certain crafts. Journey-level wages start at $25 per hour to more than $45 per hour. It’s not uncommon for journey-level workers to earn the same or more than engineers and architects. In addition to excellent pay, the construction industry offers outstanding benefits through healthcare, retirement and pension and continuing education.
SAFETY PRACTICES:
Safety is top priority in construction careers and construction careers are safer and longer than ever before as a result. Workers are required to wear appropriate safety equipment, including eyewear, hard hats and safety shoes as they perform their work. Workers must be clear and focused on the task at hand, for their safety and for the safety of others – as such, the construction industry prohibits substance abuse on and off the work site, and applicants and workers may undergo substance abuse testing to ensure the highest standards for safety are upheld. We hope you’ll consider joining the St. Louis construction industry. Become part of the nation’s largest industry and build the future! Copyright 2015 by Saint Louis Construction Cooperative

Carpenter WORK DESCRIPTION: Fully trained carpenters have one of the most versatile construction occupations. They work in many areas of construction, skilled in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. Carpenters use many different hand and power tools to cut, shape, and fasten building materials together to build structures.

Residential Carpenters typically specialize in new-home construction, condominiums, and remodeling. Job tasks may include building forms for concrete; framing floors, walls, roofs and stairs; installation of drywall; trims and cabinetry; and exterior finishes. Commercial Carpenters typically build or remodel commercial buildings such as hospitals, hotels, schools, and shopping malls. Many commercial carpenters work with light-gauge and heavy-gauge steel framing to construct interior and exterior wall assemblies. Most commercial carpenters perform many of the same tasks as residential carpenters. Industrial Carpenters/Millwrights typically work in civil and industrial settings such as power plants, bridges, dams, or sewer construction projects. These carpenters will work with concrete systems, new infrastructure construction, and scaffold building. Millwrights are incredibly skilled at rigging, assembling, will perform high-precision machinery installations, weld, and dismantle machinery.
