…just a brief update to let you know what’s going on with training.
It’s been an unusual and trying time for everyone, and we wanted to let you know that we’re thinking of you and your families, and what we can do to serve you, our brothers and sisters.
Until things get back to where we can all be safe convening in person, we will have to get creative and be flexible. We’re currently in the process of exploring some alternate training delivery options, and will provide more information once we get the details ironed out.
In the meantime, we wish you good health and safety. Be well!

If you’re at a point where you’re looking around to see where your life is heading – in terms of work and money – let me point you in a rewarding direction:
Construction is a hot career choice.
But I’ll get back to that in a minute. First, about choices in general.
Many of us grew up hearing that college was the path to success – but that game has changed. It’s true those with a college degree make more money over their lifetimes, on average. But what about all those people who went to college and it didn’t pan out? These days you’re just as likely to end up with a degree, tens of thousands of dollars in debt, and a job waiting ables while you send out resumes.
Or… you could get paid good money in a career-path position in construction. And you can start right away, with an apprentice program from NWLETT – one that provides free training, which includes housing, meals, and a paycheck!
So, back to that point about construction being hot. Money magazine reports that Indeed.com’s “25 Hottest Careers Right Now” for 2018 includes 10 – that’s right, nearly half – in construction. Project managers, estimators, superintendents… 10 different jobs that pay from around $80,000 a year to over $100,000.
So why does that matter to you? Because there’s a clearly identified path to those positions – and it starts with the NWLETT apprentice program.
It’s a way to quickly jump into satisfying work in a booming job sector. Here are a few things to consider about becoming a construction apprentice:
So… if you realize that it’s time to make a career choice, now you know about one great option. Ready to go? Visit www.NWLETT.org to get started!

The following is a 12.5.2017 news release from the Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA):

The Laborers’ Health and Safety Fund of North America (LHSFNA) has posted the following information regarding finding useful health and safety apps for Laborers.
There are two recently released apps mentioned in the link below, but the first paragraph contains links to articles from 2014 with LHSFNA’s original recommendations.
Topics cover weight loss, exercise, nutrition, medical, ladder usage, lift calculation, first aid, and even a noise meter (want to gauge how loud the Clink gets during a home game, Hawks fans?).
With a few exceptions, most apps are available in both iPhone and Android format.
