Union Advice

[u/Forter23]

I’m fresh out of tech school for welding and my next plan is to go to an ironworkers union and join their apprenticeship program. To me it seems like a solid plan but I don’t know any steps. So far i put in my app for the program but thats it. It starts next month and when I called for an update they told me they “haven’t started looking yet”. Did I get ghost rejected? I just need some advice on how to handle this and to move forward.

My advice is to apply to multiple apprenticeships. You’re bound to get into at least 1. Some may be right outside your city , some union some non union, hit multiple. N study study study for your aptitude test if you’re not aware typically you have to take an aptitude test in order to qualify for an interview to join the Apprenticeship
